Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

SurveyMonkey is a verified industry leader with massive scale, ensuring high utility and reach scores despite a low-quality submission. The submitted data contained vague claims ('everyone', 'most people') and inaccurate financials ($300M market cap vs actual ~$1.5B+ acquisition value), resulting in significant penalties to Quality Factors and Response Quality. The project's established dominance secures a high score, but the lack of effort in the application prevents it from reaching the top tier (>800).
