Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

TRST Score is a legitimate B2B HRTech platform for human risk mitigation (background verification, fraud prevention), with verifiable external traction including ~200 corporate clients and industry partnerships. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone') and lacking specific metrics. The discrepancy between the actual business value and the poor submission data results in a heavily penalized score.
