Proof of Usefulness Score

Certified Problem Solver

ELOREA is a legitimate, investor-backed (raised ~$2M from CJ Investment) fragrance brand with a flagship store in NYC and positive media coverage (BeautyMatter, Vogue). However, the submission itself was of very poor quality, containing hyperbolic and false claims regarding audience reach ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') and technology. While the project has verifiable real-world traction and capital, the score is penalized heavily for the inaccuracy of the submission and the niche nature of the product compared to mass-market software utility.
