Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The Good Face Project is a verified, high-utility B2B SaaS platform for cosmetic formulation and regulatory compliance, backed by over $6M in venture funding and used by major retailers like Target and Fortune 50 cosmetic companies. While the user submission was of extremely poor quality (containing vague, exaggerated claims like 'everyone' and 'space-technology'), independent verification confirms a strong market position, innovative AI-driven chemistry informatics, and significant industry traction. The score reflects the high verified value of the project, heavily penalized in the 'Response Quality' section for the lack of effort in the submission.
