Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

SingleSprout is a legitimate, established recruitment agency (founded 2013) with verified traction (~35 employees, estimated $5M+ annual revenue). However, the submission itself was of extremely poor quality, containing hallucinatory claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone') and lazy data entry. While external verification confirms the project's real-world utility and significant scale (surpassing the HackerNoon baseline in revenue/headcount), the final score is heavily penalized by low Quality Factors due to the lack of verifiable evidence provided in the submission and the inaccuracy of the claims.
