Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

KnoCommerce is a legitimate, high-value Shopify App (acquired by WeCommerce in 2022) with verifiable traction (~1,200 merchants including Jones Road and Olipop). However, the submission quality is extremely low, containing hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people') and inaccurate data (claiming 125 employees vs ~15 actual; '17M marketcap' likely refers to valuation or total revenue, not monthly). The project scores highly on utility and verified traction, but is heavily penalized for response quality and inaccurate claims.
