Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

StyleDemocracy is a verified, long-standing brand (est. 1999) with established utility in the Canadian retail event space. However, the project submission is extremely low quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('audienceReach: everyone') and lacking specific metrics. While the underlying business has verifiable traction and utility, the submission fails to demonstrate technical innovation or a clear growth strategy for the new membership program. The score reflects the legitimacy of the domain heavily penalized by the poor quality of evidence provided.
