Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The project 'Solidshape' is a legitimate, verifiable B2B marketplace for construction materials with a valid business model, VC backing (PitchBook), and a team of ~30. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('most people have used my product'), spam-like data, and a lack of specific detail. The score reflects the real-world utility and timing of the actual company, heavily penalized by the poor quality of evidence and response provided in the submission.
