Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

DespaQ is a verified, active B2B middleware platform for e-invoicing compliance (likely based in Malaysia), addressing a high-utility market need with mandatory regulatory deadlines. However, the project submission is of exceptionally low quality, featuring pseudonymized data ('ThunderFang'), broken financial inputs, and demonstrably false traction claims ('most people have used my product'). While the underlying business appears legitimate and timely, the submission fails to provide credible evidence, resulting in maximum penalties for quality and traction. The score reflects the existence of a viable product weighed down by a spam-like application.
