Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The submission represents 't’order' (torderusa.com), a verified South Korean 'unicorn' startup expanding into the US market with a valuation of ~$230M USD and over $3B in GMV. While the submission quality was extremely poor (e.g., claiming audience is 'everyone', vague traction claims, using 'CrimsonForge' as a name), independent verification confirms substantial real-world utility, massive adoption (260,000+ tablets), and strong market timing. The score reflects the project's high-tier commercial success and scale (400-700+ range), significantly penalized for the low-effort response quality.
