Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The project 'Simplified' (simplified.com) is a verified, high-growth venture-backed Design/AI platform with significant market traction ($10M+ funding, millions of users). However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, featuring hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product'), vague technical details ('Software Development'), and confusing financial metrics. The score reflects the high real-world value and established status of the platform (lifting it well above the baseline), but is significantly penalized by the 'Quality Factors' due to the lack of evidence provided in the input.
