+452
Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Intrepid Spirits is a verifiable global beverage company (est. 2013) with a portfolio of premium brands (Cocalero, Egan's Whiskey) and offices in Europe, Asia, and the Americas. While the submission suffers from poor data quality (labeling revenue as 'marketcap', hyperbolic traction claims like 'most people'), the underlying business demonstrates significant real-world scale and traction well beyond the 'minimal' threshold. The project scores highly on utility and traction due to its established global distribution, but receives low marks for technical innovation as it is a standard manufacturing/CPG business rather than a technology project. The score reflects a solid, established business submitting to a tech-focused evaluation framework.
