Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Xpansiv is a verified 'unicorn' status entity in the global environmental commodities market, operating critical infrastructure (CBL Exchange) with a valuation exceeding $1B and backing from Blackstone. While the project demonstrates exceptional real-world utility, market timing, and traction (handling billions in assets), the specific submission provided was low-quality, featuring hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product', 'everyone') and lacking technical detail. The score reflects the undeniable success and scale of the platform, adjusted downward for the poor quality of the submission evidence.
