Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Marcho Partners is a verifiable, established investment management firm based in London with significant assets under management (~$262M verified via 13F filings). However, the project submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience 'everyone') and irrelevant data fields. While the underlying business entity is highly solvent and has strong market traction, the Proof of Usefulness score is heavily penalized by the poor reliability of the submitted evidence and the lack of technical innovation characteristic of a standard hedge fund structure.
