Proof of Usefulness Score

Certified Problem Solver

Iterative is a well-established venture capital accelerator in Southeast Asia, providing high real-world utility and verified traction through its portfolio. However, the project submission itself was of very low quality, containing false claims ('most people have used my product', 'everyone') and lacking specific metrics. The score reflects the strong underlying entity (validated via URL) heavily penalized for the inaccurate and lazy submission data.
