Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Regroup is a verifiable, established market leader in the mass notification space (Regroup.com) with estimated revenues exceeding $10M and significant partnerships (e.g., Ellucian). While the project itself possesses high real-world utility and traction, the submission provided was extremely low quality, lacking specific metrics and relying on hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people'). The score reflects the strong underlying business reality, penalized moderately for the lack of substantiating evidence in the application.
