Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

TokBox (OpenTok) is a definitive leader in the WebRTC space, powering video features for major enterprise applications. While the project itself has immense real-world utility, innovation, and verified historical traction (acquisition by Vonage), the submission provided is extremely low-quality with vague claims ('everyone', 'most people') and lacks concrete data. The score reflects the project's proven high-scale status (400-700 range) but is dampened by the lack of direct evidence in the response.
