Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Paperstack is a verified, legitimate Series A fintech company providing working capital to e-commerce brands, backed by investors like Techstars and Google for Startups. However, the submission itself appears to be a low-effort or test entry (user 'CrimsonFang', claims reach is 'everyone', missing specific metrics). The evaluation is based on external verification of the company's actual traction ($10M+ funding, ~1,500 customers) rather than the poor quality input data. The score reflects high real-world utility and financial traction, penalized significantly for the lack of effort and accuracy in the submission form.
