Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

ÀLA.HAUSSE is a verifiable, functioning sustainable fashion ecosystem based in Toronto, offering buying, selling, renting, and lending services. While the project addresses a genuine problem (textile waste) with excellent market timing, the submission itself is of very poor quality, containing hyperbolic false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product') and missing key metrics. Verifiable traction is early-stage (likely <5,000 users) rather than the mass adoption claimed. The presence of a dedicated team and functional apps prevents a lower score, but the lack of honest data in the submission severely penalizes the evaluation.
