Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Wave Commerce is a verified, established Shopify agency in Hong Kong with high-tier enterprise clients (Dr. Martens, Logitech, Nestlé) and a decade of operation. Despite the high real-world utility and strong traction signals found via external search, the project submission itself was of very low quality, containing false tags ('space-technology') and unverifiable claims ('most people have used my product'). The score reflects the strong underlying business fundamentals, significantly penalized for the poor quality and accuracy of the submission data.
