Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

VertomCory is a legitimate, large-scale global shipping and port agency formed by the merger of Vertom and Cory Brothers (verified via external search). However, the project submission itself is of extremely poor quality, containing invalid contact details, fabricated claims of 'everyone' using the product, and zero verifiable evidence provided by the submitter. While the underlying business has high utility and traction, the specific submission receives maximum penalties for lack of evidence and credibility red flags, resulting in a low score despite the company's real-world stature.
