Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Topmate.io is a legitimate, high-traction platform for professional mentorship with significant verified traffic (~2.5M monthly visits) and funding (Seed round, India Quotient). However, the project submission itself contained extremely poor and inaccurate data (claiming 33 billion market cap and 'everyone' as audience), which severely impacted the quality factors and response score. The high final score reflects the verifiable real-world success of the product despite the low-quality submission.
