You're In Business

FabCollab is a legitimate Toronto-based arts organization focusing on diversity and cross-cultural collaboration, verified by external search to have achieved ~100k views through partnerships (e.g., National Arts Centre). However, the PoU submission itself is of very low quality, containing hyperbolic false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product') and misused financial terminology ('marketcap'). As a non-technology project with no software innovation, it scores low on technical metrics. Its value lies entirely in cultural utility and niche regional traction, which fits the 'Minimal Traction' calibration bracket (0–100) for this evaluation framework.
