Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Dollaride is a legitimate mobility platform with verified traction, including a $10M NYSERDA grant and ~35,000 verified rides (2022). However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing placeholder data ('everyone', 'most people') and failing to represent the company's actual success. The score reflects high Real-World Utility and verifiable Traction via external search, heavily penalized by the poor quality of evidence provided in the submission.
