Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Potrero Digital is a verified, high-impact non-profit initiative by Fundación Compromiso, offering digital trade training to vulnerable populations in Latin America. While the project itself demonstrates high real-world utility and has strong partnerships (Google, AWS, JP Morgan), the submission quality is critically low (e.g., claiming 'most people have used my product' and audience is 'everyone'). The score reflects the project's genuine value and established track record (10,000+ students), significantly penalized for the unprofessional form entry and lack of specific data provided in the text fields.
