Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Session App is a verified, high-utility privacy messaging platform developed by the Oxen Privacy Tech Foundation. While the project itself possesses significant technical innovation (onion-routing, metadata stripping) and a respectable user base (>1M downloads), the submission provided is of extremely poor quality. The submitter made demonstrably false claims regarding reach ('most people', 'everyone') and omitted key technical details. The score reflects the strong underlying technology and market relevance, heavily penalized for the lack of credible evidence and exaggerated claims in the submission application.
