Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Retykle is a legitimate, venture-backed ($2.2M) circular fashion platform operating in Hong Kong and Singapore. While the submission itself was of extremely low quality (containing vague, exaggerated claims like 'everyone' and 'most people'), external verification confirms the company is the market leader in Asia for children's luxury resale, with over 150,000 items recirculated and a team of ~15-25. The score reflects a solid business model and verifiable traction, penalized significantly for the poor quality of the application data.
