Proof of Usefulness Report

The C Collective

Analysis completed on 2/18/2026

+45
Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The C Collective is a legitimate, boutique consultancy founded in 2019 focusing on sustainability and UX design. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing a mismatched project name ('SwiftWing'), a hallucinated revenue figure ('17000000 marketcap'), and a demonstrably false traction claim ('most people have used my product'). While the underlying business is real and socially useful, the submission's inaccuracies and the non-technical nature of the consultancy result in a low Proof of Usefulness score.
