Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Notabene is a verifiable, industry-leading compliance platform for the crypto Travel Rule with significant funding (Series B) and major B2B clients. However, the submission quality is critically low, containing false claims ('most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone') and lacking specific data. The score reflects the high real-world utility and market relevance of the actual project, severely penalized by the lack of effort and accuracy in the submission form.
