Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Tappit is a verified, established provider of cashless payment solutions for major global events and venues (e.g., F1, NFL). While the project has significant real-world utility, verifiable traction, and a solid market position, the submission itself was of extremely low quality—containing hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people') and lacking specific data. The score reflects the company's actual robust scale and utility, heavily penalized by the poor quality of evidence provided in the application.
