Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Gigstack is a legitimate, high-traction fintech platform in Mexico/LatAm automating financial administration and tax (SAT) compliance, with verifiable claims of $600M+ processed volume and established clients like Leadsales and Whitepaper. However, the project submission itself was of extremely low quality, featuring false audience claims ('everyone'), a lack of detail ('software-development'), and verifiable laziness ('all time marketcap: null'). The score reflects the high real-world utility and proven market traction of the actual business, significantly penalized by the poor quality of the submission data.
