Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Le Collectionist is a verified leader in the luxury travel sector with significant traction, including €60M+ in funding and multiple acquisitions (e.g., Bramble Ski). While the submission data itself was of extremely low quality (incorrectly claiming 'fashion' technology and 'everyone' audience), external verification confirms a high-value, scalable business with over 250 employees and €100M+ in business volume. The score reflects the strong market position and real-world utility of the actual entity, adjusted downward for the poor quality of the submission and the discrepancy in claimed vs. actual metrics.
