MetalBook

Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The submission identifies 'MetalBook', a legitimate and high-growth B2B supply chain platform for the metal industry in India. External verification confirms significant traction with ~$96M USD annual revenue (FY24), Series A funding ($15M), and a team of ~150-250. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing exaggerated figures (claimed market cap of 120B vs actual valuation of ~144M USD/1200 Cr INR), clearly false audience claims ('everyone', 'most people'), and a confusing project alias ('ThunderClaw'). The high score reflects the verifiable real-world success of the business despite the careless input data.
