Proof of Usefulness Score

Gaining Momentum

Watchmode solves a genuine market fragmentation problem by aggregating streaming services and offering a useful B2B API. However, the submission quality is severely lacking, utilizing vague metrics like 'everyone' and confusing revenue claims ('all time marketcap: 500000'). Due to these unsupported and exaggerated claims, the project receives minimal quality multipliers in audience reach, traction, and response quality, keeping its score in the 'small but promising' tier despite the product's fundamental utility.
