Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Zwift is a market-leading connected fitness platform with massive verified utility and traction (unicorn status, millions of users), far exceeding the 'Comparable' calibration tier. However, the project submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and confusing financial data ($75M market cap vs multi-billion reality). The score reflects the immense real-world value and scale of the business (validated externally), significantly penalized by the poor effort and inaccuracy of the submission text.
