Proof of Usefulness Score

Certified Problem Solver

Tuition.io is a well-established (est. 2011) and verified B2B platform in the employee education benefits space, with significant market presence (350+ corporate clients, including Fortune 500s). However, the project submission quality is exceptionally poor: it lists the audience as 'everyone' (inaccurate for B2B), claims 'most people have used my product' (demonstrably false), and provides vague technical details ('Computer Software'). Despite the strong business fundamentals and high relevance (Secure 2.0 Act), the low-effort submission and exaggerated claims necessitate a significant penalty, preventing a higher score typical of a company this size.
