Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

The project is a verified, high-growth logistics startup (rebranded as 'Zippee') that has raised ~$1.6M and operates 150+ dark stores for clients like Unilever and Epigamia. Despite the strong business fundamentals, the submission form contained low-quality filler text (e.g., 'most people have used my product'), which severely penalized the Response Quality score. The final score reflects the high real-world utility and verified traction, balanced against the poor submission effort.
