Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Rocket Lawyer is a major industry player (Series F, ~$100M+ revenue, 30M+ users) with verifiable mass-market utility. However, the submission quality is extremely poor, containing inaccurate financial data ($75M market cap vs. likely $500M+ valuation) and lazy evidence ('most people'). The score reflects the high real-world value of the verifiable entity, significantly dampened by the lack of effort and precision in the submission itself.
