Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

The project 'Secret Lab' corresponds to a well-known, high-revenue global brand in the gaming furniture market. External verification confirms massive traction, significantly exceeding the 'calibration' baseline. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing factual errors (launch date listed as 2008 vs. actual 2014), lazy/hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product'), and generic tagging. While the underlying business is a 'Unicorn' scale entity ($2B valuation), the score is heavily penalized (Quality Factor 0.5) due to the poor, potentially unverified nature of the submission entry.
