Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

WapCar is a dominant automotive content platform in Southeast Asia, acquired by the unicorn Carsome in 2022. External verification confirms massive scale (~6M Monthly Active Users) and high real-world utility, significantly exceeding the HackerNoon baseline. However, the submission itself was of extremely low quality, offering vague claims ('most people have used my product') and missing data. The final score reflects the project's immense verifiable success (high Traction/Reach scores) heavily penalized by low Quality Factors due to the lack of evidence provided in the application.
