+518
Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Zanbato is a verifiable, established fintech company (founded 2010) providing significant utility in private market trading (ZX platform). However, the submission quality is critically low, featuring demonstrable falsehoods (claiming 'everyone' as audience and 'most people' as traction) and missing data. While the underlying business is strong and verified externally to ensure a fair assessment, the score is heavily penalized by the lack of credible evidence and professionalism in the provided response.
