Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

CommerceV3 is a long-standing, legitimate B2B ecommerce platform (est. 1999) with significant revenue (~$5M-$25M) and reputable clients (e.g., King Arthur Baking, though some have migrated). However, the submission quality is exceptionally poor, containing hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and vague data. The project scores higher than the benchmark due to verifiable legacy traction and revenue scale, but is heavily penalized for low-quality input and lack of technical detail.
