Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Propellant.digital is a legitimate, high-potential B2B fintech company specializing in fixed income data analytics and transparency (MiFID II). External verification confirms significant traction with Tier-1 clients (Jefferies, Schroders) and industry awards. However, the submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing nonsensical claims (Reach: 'everyone', Traction: 'most people have used my product') and missing data. The score reflects the high verified utility and traction of the actual business, heavily penalized by the strict Quality Factors due to the lack of evidence in the submission.
