Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Wondrium (formerly The Great Courses Plus) is a verified, high-traction platform with estimated annual revenue over $80M and hundreds of employees. The project possesses significant real-world utility in the ed-tech space. However, the submission itself is of extremely poor quality, featuring hyperbolic and false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone') and missing financial data ('marketcap: null'). The final score reflects the high verified value of the underlying business, heavily penalized by the lowest possible Quality Factors due to the lack of effort and accuracy in the submission.
