Proof of Usefulness Score

Category Standard

Talent Village is a legitimate, well-established influencer marketing agency/platform with verifiable traction (approx. $12.6M revenue, 25-55+ employees) and high-profile clients (Chanel, Lacoste). However, the submission quality was extremely poor, containing false claims about reach ('everyone') and usage ('most people'). The score reflects the strong underlying business fundamentals and market position, penalized heavily in the 'Response Quality' and 'Audience Reach' metrics due to the inaccuracy of the user's claims.
