Proof of Usefulness Score

Gaining Momentum

WISK.ai is a legitimate, established B2B SaaS platform for bar inventory management with verifiable external traction (380+ reviews, active pricing tiers). However, the project submission itself was of extremely poor quality, containing hyperbolic falsehoods (e.g., audience is 'everyone', traction is 'most people') and lacking specific metrics. While the product has high real-world utility and verified technology (AI image recognition, scale integration), the score is significantly penalized by the low-effort submission and false claims regarding reach.
