Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Sofascore is a globally established sports analytics platform with massive real-world utility and reach, verifying its claim of being used by 'most people' in the sports context. While the submission itself was minimal and lacked detail ('everyone', 'all time marketcap: null'), external verification confirms the project operates at a much larger scale (50M+ MAU) than the calibration reference. The score reflects the platform's market dominance, high technical reliability for real-time data, and exceptional traction, heavily penalized only in the 'Response Quality' metric due to the low-effort submission.
