Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Itembase Holdings is a legitimate, established B2B eCommerce connectivity platform (founded ~2011) that solves a significant fragmentation problem in the market. However, the project submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing lazy responses (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'space-technology') and verifiable inaccuracies regarding audience reach. While the underlying business utility and verifiable external history (partnerships with major logistics/commerce players) suggest a 'Comparable Scale' rating, the score is heavily penalized by the lack of direct evidence in the submission and the unprofessional quality of the response.
