Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Rently is a verifiable market leader in self-touring and smart home technology (PropTech) with over 500 employees and significant revenue (est. $50M+), placing it well above the 'Much Larger Scale' threshold. While the project submission itself was low-quality, hyperbolic ('most people have used my product'), and contained imprecise financial data ('marketcap: 43000000'), the underlying business entity is highly established, widely used (16M+ tours), and technically robust. The score reflects the massive real-world utility and traction of the company, slightly penalized for the poor quality of the specific submission provided.
