Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

TapResearch is a highly established market research technology platform with tens of millions of users and significant partners (Zynga, Qualtrics). While the project submission form was filled out with minimal effort (vague claims, 'MysticStorm' alias), external verification confirms the company's massive scale, revenue (estimated $10M+), and team size (50+). The score reflects the high real-world utility and verified traction of the business, heavily penalized only in the 'Response Quality' section due to the lazy input.
