Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

PF Nexus is a verifiable, legitimate B2B marketplace for renewable energy financing with significant traction (est. ~$2M revenue, ~3GW deal flow, ~15 employees). However, the submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone') and a likely username mismatch ('DeepRider'). The score reflects the strong underlying business utility and market position, heavily penalized by the lack of credible evidence provided in the submission text.
