Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Poq Commerce is a well-established Series B SaaS company with verified significant revenue (~$10M estimates) and enterprise clients (e.l.f. Beauty, Hotel Chocolat). However, the submission itself ('MysticClaw') is of extremely low quality, utilizing hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and vague descriptions ('Computer Software'). The score reflects the strong underlying business fundamentals and market position found via external verification, penalized heavily for the lack of effort and precision in the submission data.
