+647
Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Ticket Tailor is a verified, highly successful independent ticketing platform (B Corp) with estimated annual revenue of ~$6M and over 18M tickets issued in 2023 (exceeding the submission's 5M claim). The project demonstrates exceptional real-world utility and traction, operating with a team of ~35. However, the submission quality is low (generic pseudonym 'ShadowSpirit', hyperbolic claims like 'most people have used my product', and vague audience definitions), which significantly reduces the Response Quality score. The final score reflects the high verifiable value of the business despite the poor submission effort.
