Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

INKsearch is a verifiable, operating SaaS marketplace for the tattoo industry established in 2018 with traction in Poland/EU (approx. 500k historical users, equity crowdfunding). However, the submission quality is critically low, featuring hyperbolic falsehoods ('most people have used my product') and missing data. The score acknowledges the legitimate business existence ('Small but promising') while applying significant penalties for the lack of credible evidence provided in the input.
