Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

The Juggernaut is a verified, Y Combinator-backed media company (W19) with estimated annual revenue of ~$1.6M and a strong subscription model serving the South Asian diaspora. However, the submission itself is extremely low quality, containing placeholder text ('most people have used my product') and false claims regarding reach ('everyone'). The project scores highly on real-world utility and market timing, but suffers significant penalties in Response Quality and verifiable Evidence of Traction within the submission itself. The final score reflects the legitimate business value adjusted for the poor submission data.
