Proof of Usefulness Score

You're In Business

Kovaco UK Limited is a verifiable business acting as the UK dealer for Kovaco Electric's innovative skid steers (Elise 900). While the underlying project has high real-world utility and verified sales (approx. £2.5M turnover implied), the submission quality was extremely poor. The submitter ('StarFang') made clearly false claims regarding audience ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'), which severely impacted the credibility scores. The evaluation relied heavily on external verification of the dealership's existence and niche market presence to prevent a negative score.
