Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Stord is a highly significant, Unicorn-status company ($1.5B+ valuation) in the supply chain logistics sector. The project solves a critical problem (logistics fragmentation) with a validated 'Cloud Supply Chain' model. While the submission data itself was low-effort (vague claims like 'everyone', odd tags like 'social-media'), the verifiable facts regarding Stord's market position, funding ($200M+), and scale (hundreds of employees) drive a high score. The score is dampened slightly by the poor quality of the form responses, but the underlying business utility and traction are exceptional.
