Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Wantedly is a well-established social recruiting platform based in Tokyo (formerly a public company) with millions of users across Asia. Despite the low-quality submission (which contained hyperbole and lacked technical detail), the project's real-world utility and traction are verifiable and significant. The platform effectively addresses the 'purpose-driven' hiring market. The score reflects the high maturity and scale of the business (100+ employees, significant revenue), penalized slightly in the quality factors due to the poor data provided in the input.
