Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The project 'WePay' is a verified, major fintech entity acquired by JPMorgan Chase for ~$400M in 2017. While the submission quality is low (generic claims like 'everyone', odd tags like 'energy-solutions', and informal data entry), the underlying project possesses exceptional real-world utility, massive audience reach, and proven traction as a backbone for platforms like GoFundMe and FreshBooks. The score reflects the high value of the established business, penalized slightly for the lack of detailed evidence in the specific submission.
