Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Humankind is a legitimate and successful conversational commerce platform that was acquired by Tulip in December 2024, demonstrating exceptional real-world utility and traction. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product'), missing technical details, and nonsensical revenue data. While the project's intrinsic value is high, the PoU score is significantly penalized by the lack of provided evidence and the poor quality of the submission.
