Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

BuiltIn (Builtin Insurance Brokers) is a legitimate, established (2006) New Zealand insurance brokerage specializing in the construction sector. While the project itself demonstrates high real-world utility and verified longevity (2,500+ clients), the submission quality is abysmal. The user 'SilentShade' provided hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone') which contradict the niche B2B nature of the business. The score reflects the solid underlying business reality, heavily penalized for the lack of credible evidence provided in the submission.
