Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Tonsser is a highly successful, Series-A funded football performance app with significant verifiable traction (1.5M+ users, ~$7M estimated revenue, partnerships with Nike/Premier League clubs). While the project itself demonstrates exceptional Real-World Utility and Market Reach (placing it in the 'Much larger scale' calibration tier), the submission quality was extremely poor, containing lazy filler text ('most people have used my product') and missing critical data. The score reflects the high value of the underlying business, heavily penalized in the 'Evidence of Traction' and 'Response Quality' metrics due to the lack of effort in the submission form.
