Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Soundstripe is a verified, market-leading platform in the stock media licensing space, with a confirmed team size of ~75 employees and significant revenue (estimated $2M-$15M+ annual). While the project's real-world utility and verified traction are exceptional (justifying a score well above the 'comparable scale' baseline), the submission quality was extremely poor (vague claims like 'everyone' and lack of specific evidence). Consequently, maximum 'Quality Factor' penalties were applied to several categories, capping the score at ~611 instead of a potential 800+.
