Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The project 'Boxx Builder' is a legitimate modular home construction business founded by Brandon Carrero, with verifiable press coverage and sales (~$1M-$2M estimated based on 2021 reports). However, the submission quality is critically low, featuring false claims ('most people have used my product'), nonsensical metrics ('marketcap: 500000'), and a mismatch in user identity ('ThunderWing'). While the underlying business addresses a real-world problem (affordable housing) and has verifiable traction, the PoU score is heavily penalized due to the lack of evidence provided in the submission and the hyperbolic claims made by the user.
