Proof of Usefulness Score

Category Standard

VEED.IO demonstrates massive real-world utility and scale as an AI-powered video creation platform, backed by Sequoia with a 350-person team. While the actual product far exceeds the HackerNoon calibration baseline, the submission itself suffers from exceptionally vague and low-effort answers ('most people have used my product', 'everyone'). This results in significant penalties to the traction and response quality multipliers, balancing the score to reflect strong external validity but poor submission quality.
