The project 'Sterve' (sterve.shop) is a legitimate, functioning AI-powered commerce platform for MSMEs, primarily active in the Middle East (UAE, Oman) with over 6,000 verifiable merchants and significant transaction volume (~$8M GMV). However, the submission itself ('FrostStone') is of exceptionally low quality, containing false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product'), nonsensical data ('marketcap: null'), and generic descriptions. The Proof of Usefulness score is salvaged by the external verification of the project's real-world utility and traction, but heavily penalized by the poor reliability of the submitted information.
