Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Rural Handmade is a legitimate, established B2B marketplace (founded 2017) connecting 840+ rural artisans with global buyers, verified via Tracxn and press coverage. While the project demonstrates significant real-world utility and ethical supply chain innovation, the submission itself contained extremely poor quality data (claiming 'everyone' as audience and 'most people' as traction). The score reflects the project's verified operational history and social impact, heavily penalized for the lack of credible evidence provided in the input.
