Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Rentable (formerly Abodo) is a legitimate, high-traction rental marketplace founded in 2011 with over $30M in funding and estimated $20M+ annual revenue. However, the project submission itself was of extremely poor quality, containing vague hyperbole ('most people have used my product') and missing data. The score reflects the high verifiable real-world value and traction of the entity, significantly penalized by the low quality of the submission evidence.
