Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Tapcart is a highly established, high-revenue mobile commerce platform backed by Shopify Ventures. While the project entity demonstrates exceptional real-world utility, market traction ($9B+ GMV), and scale (350+ employees), the specific submission provided was low-effort (vague claims, 'Computer Software' as tech). The score reflects the undeniable business value and robust market position, heavily penalized by the poor quality of the submission inputs.
