Proof of Usefulness Score

Certified Problem Solver

FRDM (frdm.co) is a verified, high-utility B2B SaaS platform addressing modern slavery and supply chain risks, with estimated annual revenue of ~$2.7M and Fortune 500 clientele. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('audienceReach: everyone', 'most people have used my product') and lacking data. The score reflects the project's strong external reality (verified via search) heavily penalized by the 'Quality Factor' due to the lazy and inaccurate submission data.
