Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Ovrsea is a highly successful digital freight forwarder with verified exceptional traction, including a majority acquisition by Bolloré Group in 2021 and a workforce of 150+ employees. The project demonstrates strong real-world utility in the supply chain sector with 700+ corporate clients. However, the submission quality is critically low, containing copy-pasted descriptions and nonsensical claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product' and 'everyone' audience), which significantly impacts the Response Quality score. The final score reflects the high verifiable value of the business entity despite the poor submission data.
