Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Skroutz is the dominant e-commerce marketplace in Greece, comparable to a national Amazon, with verifiable annual revenues exceeding €60M and GMV over €1B. The project demonstrates massive real-world utility, serving 6.5M+ registered users and 8,000+ merchants. While the submission text itself was low-effort (e.g., listing 'Internet' as a technology), the underlying entity is a verifiable 'Unicorn-tier' success story with robust logistics (Skroutz Last Mile) and fintech (EveryPay) integrations. The score reflects its status as a market leader, adjusted downward slightly for the lack of detail in the specific submission form.
