+638
Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The submission represents Thumbtack, a major 'unicorn' scale home services marketplace (historically valued at ~$3.2B). While the submitted project specifically references the Philippines support operations, the URL and metrics provided reflect the global platform. The project scores highly on real-world utility, audience reach, and traction due to the established nature of the business. However, the score is significantly dampened by the low quality of the submission itself (vague claims like 'most people', lack of technical detail, and internal email address), which prevents it from reaching the top tier of 800+ despite the company's scale.
