Nosh

Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The project submission suffers from severe inconsistencies, conflating three separate entities: 'Nosh Delivery' (the provided URL, a verifiable regional food delivery cooperative), 'Nosh' (a cooking robot manufacturer, listed as the Business Type), and likely a crypto token (suggested by the '172000000' market cap claim). While the URL points to a legitimate, functioning business in Northern Colorado ('NoCo Nosh'), the submission's traction claims ('most people have used my product') are demonstrably false. The description mentions linking viral content to delivery, a feature listed on their Wellfound profile but not currently evident on the live site. The score reflects the existence of the underlying regional business but is heavily penalized for incoherent data and exaggerated claims.
