Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Covalo is a verified, legitimate B2B marketplace for the personal care industry with significant real-world traction (~22k users, 5k brands, 100% of top 20 verified). However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality (spam-like alias 'ShadowHeart', false claims like 'everyone' audience, and garbage text). The project scores well on utility and verified traction, but the final score is heavily penalized by the poor response quality and the niche nature of the actual product compared to the exaggerated 'everyone' claim.
