Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Datanest is a verifiable, legitimate New Zealand-based B2B software company (Entuitive) serving the environmental and geotechnical industries with tools for data collection and mapping. The project has been active since 2017 with a team of 11-50 and established commercial clients (e.g., SLR Consulting). However, the submission itself is of extremely poor quality, featuring blatantly false claims (Audience Reach: 'everyone', Traction: 'most people have used my product') and missing financial data. While the underlying technology is high-utility and innovative within its vertical, the PoU score is heavily penalized by the submission's lack of credible evidence and exaggerated claims.
