Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

DockWorks is a legitimate B2B maritime software project that was successfully acquired by DockMaster in Sept 2023, demonstrating significant real-world utility and traction ($1.75M funding). However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('audience: everyone', 'traction: most people'), bot-like errors (team size '12-158' copied from competitor lists), and nonsensical fields ('MysticStorm'). The score reflects the verified success of the actual software (Acquisition/Utility) but is heavily penalized by the lack of credible evidence and accuracy in the submission.
