Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Matriark Foods is a legitimate, verifiable company founded in 2018 that upcycles farm surplus into healthy food products, addressing high-utility problems like food waste and hunger. The company has significant traction with partners like Chartwells, Sysco, and Whole Foods. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('most people have used my product') and vague data ('everyone', 'all time marketcap: null'). The score reflects the strong real-world merit of the verified project, heavily penalized by the poor response quality and lack of substantiated evidence in the submission.
