Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

FreightSmith is a legitimate B2B fintech solution addressing significant inefficiencies in logistics (detention time, lumper fees) with verifiable integrations (Mastercard/Comdata) and enterprise usage. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing demonstrably false claims ('everyone' audience, 'most people' traction) and lacking critical business data. While the underlying technology and market position are strong, the score is severely penalized by the lack of credible evidence provided in the input, necessitating a heavy reliance on external verification which confirmed the project's reality but could not validate the hyperbolic claims made by the submitter.
