Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Truelancer is a verified, established freelance marketplace (founded 2014) with significant traction (estimated $2.3M annual revenue, ~1M registered users). However, the submission quality was extremely poor, containing false/exaggerated claims ('everyone', 'most people') and lacking data. While the platform's real-world utility and verified traction are high (comparable to the benchmark), the score is heavily penalized by the lack of credible input evidence and the poor response quality.
