Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Thrillworks is a well-established digital agency (25 years) with verified annual revenue estimated at ~$17M and a team of ~125 employees. This places it in the 'Much Larger Scale' calibration tier. However, the submission quality was poor, containing vague claims ('everyone') and ambiguous financial data ('all time marketcap'), which significantly penalized the Quality Factors. Despite the low-effort submission, the undeniable real-world traction and business longevity drive a strong score.
