Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project 'Avos' (avos.io) corresponds to Avos Technology Ltd, a Cambridge, UK-based startup reportedly acquired by Neat in 2025. While the company appears legitimate, the submission contains grossly exaggerated claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product') that contradict verifiable data (the associated app 'Bond' has 10+ downloads on Google Play). The 'marketcap' figure of 17,000,000 is ambiguous (likely an acquisition value or valuation) and unsupported by public trading data. The submission is extremely low-effort, lacking specific technical details or verifiable user metrics, resulting in a low Proof of Usefulness score.
