Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Stay Sojo is a legitimate, established corporate housing brand under Mainsail Lodging & Development, operating in over 100 U.S. cities with verifiable revenue potential exceeding the benchmark. However, the submission quality is critically poor, featuring a name mismatch ('FrostKeeper'), absurdly exaggerated traction claims ('most people'), and zero detail on technology. The score reflects the strong real-world utility and verified market presence of the actual business, heavily penalized for the lack of technical innovation and the low-quality, erroneous submission data.
