Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

While external verification confirms ChannelApe is a legitimate, established B2B inventory management platform (est. 2015, ~14 employees, ~$1M+ revenue), the specific project submission provided is of extremely low quality. It contains false claims (reach: 'everyone', traction: 'most people'), nonsensical data (technologies: 'leadership', revenue: 'marketcap: null'), and lacks any verifiable evidence from the submitter. The score reflects the reality of a functional business severely penalized by a submission that fails to provide the required 'Proof' of usefulness.
