Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Vinterior is a verifiable, high-traction business (Series A funded, established marketplace) operating in a valuable niche (vintage furniture). However, the project submission itself is of extremely poor quality, featuring outdated descriptions ('less than three years old' for a 2015 launch), nonsensical tags ('space-technology'), and grossly exaggerated traction claims ('most people have used my product'). The score reflects the strong underlying business fundamentals and verified market presence, significantly discounted by the negligence and inaccuracies in the submission data.
