Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

SoilFLO is a verified, established B2B SaaS company with significant traction (e.g., Metrolinx contract, municipal adoption, ~22 employees) and high real-world utility in construction compliance. However, the project submission itself was of extremely poor quality, containing false claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') and nonsense data ('marketcap: null'). While the underlying business is strong (comparable to the calibration benchmark), the score is heavily penalized by the lack of serious evidence provided in the entry and the niche nature of the audience compared to broader tech platforms.

Description
Our product is a web based SaaS tool used by construction teams in the field and the back office. We ran a PHP-based MVP for 3-years which we rebuilt from the ground-up in React in mid 2020.\n\nWe pride ourselves on SoilFLO’s simplicity and the fact that we’ve had countless foremen refer to it as ‘slick’:\n• 2 button clicks to add a truck for the day\n• 2-clicks to log a load\n\nAs we add new features, our goals are to continuously ensure that:\n1. Each foreman and operator can use SoilFLO with their eyes closed\n2. There is minimal burden placed on the administrative team when implementing and ensuring consistent usage of SoilFLO
