Analysis completed on 2/3/2026

+533
Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

AhaSlides is a verifiable, high-traction audience engagement platform with over 2 million users, directly competing with Mentimeter and Kahoot. However, the project submission itself was of extremely poor quality (likely automated or lazy), featuring invalid email syntax, hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product'), and zero supporting evidence. The high Proof of Usefulness score reflects the confirmed real-world utility and scale of the platform found at the URL, while the low Quality Factors (Qi) and Response Quality score heavily penalize the lack of effort and proof in the submission data.
