Proof of Usefulness Score

Certified Problem Solver

Yellowpop is a verified, successful D2C brand specializing in LED neon signage, with verified Series A funding ($4M) and significant revenue (est. $4M-$10M/year). However, the submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('space-technology', 'most people have used my product') and generic placeholders. The score reflects the strong underlying business reality, heavily penalized by low Quality Factors (Qi) due to the unreliable submission data.
