Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Confer With is a legitimate B2B live video shopping platform with verifiable clients (e.g., L'Occitane, Hughes) and seed funding (~$768K). However, the submission quality was extremely poor, containing false hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience is 'everyone') and missing data. While the technology addresses a high-utility problem in post-pandemic retail, the score is heavily penalized by the inaccuracy of the submitted reach and the low effort of the response.
