Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Zola Suite is a verified, established legal practice management platform (acquired by CARET/AbacusNext), demonstrating high real-world utility for law firms. However, this specific submission is of very low quality, containing hyperbolic and false claims (e.g., audience is 'everyone', evidence is 'most people'). While the software itself is mature and valuable (meriting a score in the 400-600 range), the 'Response Quality' and 'Evidence' scores are heavily penalized due to the lack of verifiable data provided by the submitter. The final score balances the proven external reality of the product with the poor quality of the submission.
