Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

SafetyCulture is a verified 'Unicorn' company with a valuation of ~$1.7B USD ($2.5B AUD) and over $160M AUD in revenue, far exceeding the submitted '75M' figure. However, the submission itself is of extremely poor quality, containing vague claims ('most people have used my product') and generic descriptions ('Computer Software'). While the project's real-world utility, reach, and traction are massive (used by 85,000+ organizations), the PoU score is dampened by the lack of specific evidence and effort provided in the input form. The score reflects a 'Much larger scale' entity, adjusted downward for the low-quality submission.
