Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

FashionUnited is a well-established (est. 1999) global B2B media and recruitment platform for the fashion industry. While the submission quality was extremely poor (inaccurate claims of 'everyone' as audience and 'most people' for traction), independent verification confirms significant real-world scale: ~1.5M monthly visitors, ~170 employees, and a strong market position. The project scores highly on utility and verifiable traction despite the user's lack of supporting evidence.
