Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Belouga is a verified, established EdTech platform connecting classrooms in over 100 countries, demonstrating significant real-world utility and reach. However, the specific project submission provided was extremely low quality, containing unverifiable and exaggerated claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'everyone') and lacking specific data. The score reflects the legitimate value and traction of the underlying platform found via external verification, heavily discounted by the poor quality of the submission evidence.
