Proof of Usefulness Score

Category Standard

ReadyWise is a verified, established market leader in the emergency food and outdoor provisions sector with significant revenue (est. $20M-$75M value) and retail distribution (Costco, Amazon), placing it well above the 'High Traction' baseline. However, the submission itself (by user 'BlazeStorm') is of extremely low quality, utilizing exaggerated claims ('everyone', 'most people') and incorrect terminology ('marketcap'). While the company's real-world utility and traction are undeniably high, the score is penalized by the lack of technical innovation evidence and the poor quality of the entry data.
