Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Project Expedition is a well-established B2B/B2B2C travel platform (founded 2014) with significant verifiable traction, including a team of ~42 employees and over 20,000 tour products. While the submission quality was extremely poor (vague claims, incorrect reach, lazy data entry), independent analysis confirms the project is a revenue-generating business with industry awards and partnerships (Virtuoso, Signature). The score reflects the strong business fundamentals and market utility, heavily penalized by the lack of direct evidence provided in the submission.
