Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

VCQRU is a verified Indian anti-counterfeiting company (est. 2021, brand active since 2007) with significant real-world traction (~$1M verified revenue, 36% growth, clients like Patanjali and Mahindra). However, the submission quality is extremely poor (empty fields, informal user 'ShadowRider', hyperbolic claims), which heavily penalized the score. The project has high utility and market timing given regulatory mandates in India, but the lack of direct evidence in the submission reduced the traction score despite external verification.
