Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Chainrisk addresses a significant problem in the DeFi sector (economic risk management) with a relevant solution. However, the PoU score is heavily penalized due to the low quality of the submission. Claims such as 'everyone' for audience reach and 'most people have used my product' are hyperbolic and verifiably false for a B2B niche tool. While the project appears to have real-world utility and verified existence (chainrisk.cloud), the submission fails to provide credible evidence of traction, leading to a score in the 'Small but promising' range rather than a higher tier.
