Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Canvassed proposes a practical solution for the commercial real estate sector by aggregating listings using ML. However, the submission is significantly hindered by absurdly exaggerated claims ('everyone' uses it, 'most people have used my product') and mismatched technical descriptors ('Fine Art'). The claimed all-time market cap of 2.5M and team of 6 indicate a small operation, fitting the 100-250 calibration tier, but the low quality of verifiable traction and vague evidence heavily penalize its overall score.
