Proof of Usefulness Score

Gaining Momentum

WeStock is a verifiable seed-stage platform (approx. 500 brands, 150k users) solving a genuine B2B problem in retail data acquisition. However, the submission itself is low-quality, with inaccurate fields (e.g., claiming 'most people' have used it and misclassifying as 'developer-tools'). Despite the sloppy submission, the underlying project has real utility and confirmed traction, justifying a 'Small but promising' score.
