Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

BoxHero is a verified, functioning inventory management SaaS for SMBs with estimated annual revenue of ~$435k and over 100k downloads on Google Play. However, the submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing false hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone') and failing to provide accurate data. While the product has high real-world utility and a confirmed user base, the score is significantly penalized by the lack of credible evidence provided in the application and the confusion with a same-named apparel brand.
