Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

CargoFax addresses a genuine B2B supply chain problem with potentially high utility in global trade insights. However, the submission is severely weakened by vague, unsupported, and exaggerated claims (e.g., claiming 'most people have used my product' and targeting 'everyone'), combined with an ambiguous 'all-time marketcap' metric instead of verifiable revenue or active user data. Quality multipliers were heavily penalized due to these red flags.
