Proof of Usefulness Score

Category Standard

The project 'Initiative Ireland' (submitted with the incorrect name 'DeepWing') is a verified, high-utility peer-to-peer lending platform focusing on energy-efficient social housing in Ireland. While the submission quality was extremely poor (containing false 'everyone' reach claims and incorrect naming), external verification confirms significant real-world traction, including over €150m in funded loans and partnerships with major financial institutions like Goldman Sachs. The score reflects the high intrinsic utility and verified market position, heavily penalized in the 'Response Quality' metric for the erratic submission data.
