Proof of Usefulness Score

Certified Problem Solver

Terribly Tiny Tales (TTT) is a highly established digital media brand in India (acquired by Collective Artists Network in 2024), verifying strong traction. Claims of 'millions' of followers are accurate (~3.5M Instagram, ~770K YouTube). The project has successfully transitioned from pure media to a tech-enabled model with 'Fambase.com' (a creator economy SaaS product confirmed to be led by TTT founder Anuj Gosalia), justifying the 'Tech' claim despite the media focus. While the submission form was brief and contained lazy placeholder text ('most people have used my product'), the underlying business fundamentals, longevity (10+ years), and exit liquidity provide exceptional evidence of usefulness and viability. The score reflects a 'Comparable to Larger' scale relative to the calibration benchmark.
