Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

HE SPOKE (operated by Breakneck Lifestyle Pvt Ltd) is a verified D2C menswear brand in India with omnichannel presence (10+ cities, Myntra, Ajio, Nykaa). While the project demonstrates solid real-world traction and a timely 'sustainable fast-fashion' value proposition, the submission itself was of extremely poor quality, containing hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'everyone') and lacking specific metrics. The claimed 'waste nothing but data' slogan appears borrowed from digital-only fashion house The Fabricant, creating ambiguity about the brand's actual tech versus its marketing. Despite verified growth and market presence, the score is penalized for the low-effort submission and unsubstantiated global reach claims.
