Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Digs (Digs.com) is a verified, high-potential Series A construction-tech startup with ~$20M in funding and significant market traction (10k+ homes). However, the project submission itself contained extremely poor, inaccurate data (claiming 'everyone' as audience and 'most people' as traction). The score reflects the high real-world value and verified external traction of the company, heavily penalized by the low quality of the submission and lack of provided evidence.
