Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

StoryPorts is a legitimate, established B2B email marketing automation platform (founded 2014) with verifiable enterprise clients like Universal Music Group and Vail Resorts. However, the submission itself is of extremely poor quality, containing errors (Project Name 'SwiftForge', Name field 'SwiftForge'), false claims (Reach: 'everyone', Traction: 'most people have used my product'), and lazy tagging ('music'). The score reflects the proven real-world utility and traction of the actual business, heavily penalized for the inaccurate and low-effort submission.
