Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project 'AI Connect' (specifically 'AI Connect Africa') is a verified consulting and training hub based in Abidjan, led by Mehdi Sayegh, with press coverage in African Business and CIO Africa. However, the submission contains significant inaccuracies: the 'marketcap' and 'traction' claims are exaggerated or nonsensical, and the provided URLs conflict (mixing up a UK consultancy with the African hub). While the real-world utility for AI literacy in West Africa is high, the project appears to be a service business rather than a scalable technology product, and the poor quality of the submission data severely impacts the final score.
