Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

D1 Brands is a verified, significant entity in the Amazon Aggregator space, having raised over $123M in Series A funding (2021) and subsequently merging with Suma Brands to form The Ambr Group in 2023. While the project represents a high-utility, high-revenue ($100M+ combined) business, the submission quality is extremely poor, featuring vague claims ('most people have used my product') and missing data. The score reflects the massive verifiable traction and utility, heavily penalized by the lack of direct evidence provided in the submission and the low quality of the response.
