Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The submission conflates two distinct entities: 'Wyld', a US-based cannabis edibles brand, and 'Wyld' (getwyld.in), an Indian social currency/fintech startup. The URL and description confirm the project is the Indian fintech startup (Shark Tank India feature, ~$938k funding). However, the submission lists 'Cannabis edibles' as the business type and claims 'most people' have used it, which are severe factual errors. The score reflects the verified existence and funding of the fintech startup, heavily penalized for the incoherent and exaggerated submission data.
