Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

ALX Africa is a highly impactful, legitimate entity addressing a critical skill gap (youth unemployment/leadership) in Africa with significant scale. However, the project submission itself contains low-quality, exaggerated data (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience 'everyone'). The score reflects the high verifiable real-world utility and market relevance of the entity, heavily penalized by the poor response quality and lack of specific verifiable evidence in the submission form.
