Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

ZEGOCLOUD is a major verified Real-Time Communication (RTC) provider (Series D, $166M+ funding) serving enterprise clients globally. While the submission itself was extremely low-quality (vague claims, missing data), external verification confirms the project operates at a massive scale with over 3 billion daily call minutes and strong competitive positioning against market leaders like Agora. The high score reflects the project's proven utility, innovation, and market traction, heavily penalized by a low Response Quality score and a conservative Randomization Factor due to the lack of detail in the submission form.
