+524
Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The submission contains a significant discrepancy: the URL points to 'Boom & Bucket' (a heavy equipment marketplace), while the description and project name ('BlazeKeeper') refer to 'Moltin' (an eCommerce API provider). Despite the extremely poor and contradictory submission quality, independent verification confirms Boom & Bucket is a legitimate, venture-backed startup (Seed round $5.5M, ~35-50 employees) with significant real-world utility in the construction sector. The score reflects the company's verified traction and market position, heavily penalized by the inaccurate submission data.
