Uptok is a legitimate B2B live commerce solution for Shopify merchants, addressing a real market need (rehumanizing e-commerce). However, the project submission is of extremely low quality, containing demonstrably false hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience 'everyone') and lacking specific technical or metric data. While the underlying business exists and has raised pre-seed funding, the 'Proof of Usefulness' score is heavily penalized by the lack of credible evidence provided in the application and the inaccuracies in the self-reported data.
