Proof of Usefulness Score

Certified Problem Solver

Packworks is a legitimate, high-traction B2B platform digitizing 'sari-sari' stores in the Philippines with verified funding and significant reach (approx. 270k stores). However, the submission quality is extremely poor (generic inputs like 'everyone' and 'Internet'), which significantly impacts the score. The project possesses high real-world utility and strong market timing, but the evaluation relies heavily on external verification rather than the provided evidence.
