+356
Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Gnara (formerly SheFly) is a verified outdoor apparel company with significant traction, including distribution at major retailers like REI, Title Nine, and Public Lands. The project features patented 'GoFly' zipper technology that offers high real-world utility for inclusivity in the outdoors. While the submission itself was of very low quality (containing lazy/false claims like 'everyone' and 'most people'), external validation confirms the company's legitimacy, strong market positioning, and plausible valuation/revenue metrics comparable to established brands. The score reflects the high verifiable merit of the project, adjusted for the poor submission quality.
