Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Buyr.com is a verifiable e-commerce marketplace founded in 2016 that allows users to 'set their price' (reverse auction). While the platform exists and the mechanism offers legitimate utility, the project submission is extremely low quality and contains false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', which is refuted by minimal traffic and only ~159 Trustpilot reviews in 8 years). The platform appears stagnant ('unfunded' status, small team) rather than a high-growth startup, and the submission fails to demonstrate the claimed 'everyone' reach.
