Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

ServiceTitan is a widely recognized 'unicorn' and industry leader in software for the trades (HVAC, plumbing, etc.), evidenced by a verified team size of ~3,000 and a multi-billion dollar valuation. While the submission itself was low-quality (vague claims of reaching 'everyone' and lacking technical detail), the verifiable real-world utility and massive market traction of the entity drive a high score. The project fits the 'Much larger scale' calibration tier (400–700+), penalized slightly for the lack of specific internal data in the response.
