Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

ScreenRec is a legitimate, established productivity tool with verifiable traction (approx. 700k active users reported externally). It solves a genuine problem (asynchronous video communication) with a solid, albeit not revolutionary, technical implementation. However, the project submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') and confusing financial data ('all time marketcap: 2500000'). While the product's real-world utility and verified user base justify a score comparable to established media brands, the unprofessional submission significantly penalized the Response Quality and Traction confidence metrics.
