Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Union Street Media is a verifiable, established entity (founded 1999) with significant scale (~125 employees, estimated $10M+ revenue), placing it well above early-stage startups. However, the submission quality is extremely poor, featuring hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product', 'everyone') and vague technical details ('Computer Software'). The score reflects the strong underlying business reality, heavily penalized by low quality factors due to the lack of effort and accuracy in the submission form.
