Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

ShapesXR is a verified, high-utility VR spatial design platform with significant traction ($8.6M seed funding, ~350k downloads, and enterprise usage by Logitech/ByteDance). However, the project submission was of extremely poor quality, containing demonstrable exaggerations (e.g., 'most people have used my product') and vague descriptions. The final score reflects the project's strong real-world value and market position (Small but Promising category), heavily penalized by the low credibility and effort of the submission data.
