Commercial progress is demonstrated by measurable usage beyond speculation: recurring enterprise contracts, real consumer adoption, or partnerships generating revenue. Review KPIs such as transaction volume tied to services, number of paying clients, or integration into business processes. Case studies, pilots, or regulatory approvals also indicate material adoption. Evaluate whether adoption is geographically concentrated or diversified, and whether it addresses critical industry pain points. Token metrics should corroborate—consistent fee revenue and active wallets linked to utility. Substantial progress moves a project from concept to business reality.
