Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

indyRIOT is a verifiable, venture-backed (approx. $3M Seed) white-label community platform from Norway, co-founded by the former CEO of ForgeRock. Despite the low-quality submission (containing invalid email, exaggerated 'everyone' reach, and false 'most people' traction claims), external verification confirms significant legitimacy, a strong technical team, and real-world utility for enterprise/festival clients. The score is adjusted upward significantly based on verified external traction (funding, market presence) but penalized for the poor quality of the provided input data.
