Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Vidby is a highly established B2B player in the AI video translation space with estimated annual revenue of ~$8.7M and over 2,000 corporate clients (including General Electric and Harvard). Despite the exceptionally poor quality of the submission (which contained placeholders like 'most people have used my product'), independent verification confirms strong market traction, a team of 67+ employees, and 'YouTube Recommended Vendor' status. The project scores very high on utility, traction, and market timing, but is penalized slightly for mixed user reviews (3.5/5 stars) and significantly for the low-effort submission response.
