+401
Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Fieldmargin is a legitimate, established AgTech company (founded 2014) with significant B2B utility, despite a very low-quality submission. While the submitter made clearly false claims (e.g., 'everyone' as audience, 'most people have used my product'), external verification confirms the product is a widely used farm management tool with estimated revenue in the multi-millions and a team of ~30. The score reflects the strong underlying business fundamentals and verified utility, heavily penalized by the poor submission quality and lack of direct evidence provided.
