Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Vertalo (SeriesX) is a legitimate, established player in the digital asset and private capital infrastructure space (founded 2017), offering tangible real-world utility for B2B financial services. However, the project submission itself is of extremely poor quality, featuring hyperbolic and factually incorrect claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience is 'everyone'). While the underlying business has verifiable traction and market relevance, the submission's lack of serious detail and inaccurate data significantly penalizes the final PoU score.
