Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

ThoughtSpot is a verified 'Unicorn' in the BI/Analytics space with a $4.2B valuation and established enterprise traction (Walmart, Hulu, etc.), fitting the 'Much larger scale' calibration tier. While the user submission contained errors (Project Name: 'ThunderStorm', Reach: 'everyone', Traction: 'most people'), the underlying entity's verifiable metrics (Revenue ~$150M+, Team 500+) drive the high score. The low Response Quality score reflects the unprofessional submission data, but the massive Evidence of Traction and Real-World Utility outweigh this.
