You're In Business

AGARUW is a verifiable Tunisian startup addressing significant environmental and social problems (textile waste and artisan unemployment). External search confirms it has received recognition (e.g., Climate-KIC) as a sustainable fashion marketplace. However, the PoU score is heavily penalized by the submission's hyperbolic and unverifiable claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience is 'everyone'), lack of specific metrics, and poor response quality. While the mission has high utility, the project is currently at a 'Minimal Traction' stage relative to the global scale used for calibration.
