Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Project 'SPORT BUFF' is a legitimate B2B sports engagement platform (Sport Buff Ltd) with significant verified traction ($2.5M Seed in 2022, partnerships with MLS, FIFA, DAZN). However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality (user 'IronShade', claiming 'most people have used my product'). While the technology and market fit are strong, the submission's lack of professional detail and exaggerated claims necessitate a penalty on quality factors, though verified external data supports a solid usefulness score in the 'Small but promising' to 'Comparable scale' range.
