Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Equippo is a verified, mature Series B marketplace for heavy construction equipment with significant real-world utility and a unique 'money-back guarantee' business model that differentiates it from traditional 'sold-as-is' auctions. While the project itself operates on a large global scale (Series B funding, multi-national presence), the submission provided extremely poor data quality, including false claims of reaching 'everyone' and lacking specific traction metrics. The score reflects the high intrinsic value and verified external success of the business, heavily penalized by the low quality of the submission evidence.
