Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Crewscale is a verifiable remote talent platform (established ~2019) with estimated annual revenue of $2M-$4M and a team of ~70 employees (contrary to the 350 claimed). While the business demonstrates real-world utility and verified traction in the B2B hiring market, the submission contains significant exaggerations ('most people have used my product', '$75M marketcap') and lacks verifiable deep-tech innovation. Mixed user reviews (citing payment issues) and the poor quality of the submission negatively impact the score, placing it slightly above smaller projects but below trusted industry leaders.
