Proof of Usefulness Score

You're In Business

SustainaCore presents a timely and functional platform for AI governance tracking with verifiable updates (e.g., Q1 2026 Index). However, the submission quality is severely undermined by hyperbolic and unverifiable claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone'). While the 'TECH 100' index shows technical effort and market relevance, the lack of third-party validation and the juvenile nature of the traction claims result in a low 'Minimal Traction' tier score.
