Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

The project 'Freespace' by Workplace Fabric is a verifiable, high-traction B2B SaaS/IoT solution for workplace management, operating in over 70 cities with blue-chip clients (e.g., Willis Towers Watson). While the underlying business is strong with proven utility and revenue potential exceeding the baseline, the submission itself is of low quality. Key fields contain false or lazy claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', Audience: 'everyone'), which significantly penalized the Audience Reach and Response Quality scores. However, independent verification confirms the project's scale, legitimacy, and market relevance.
