Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Carloha Nigeria is a legitimate, large-scale automotive technology and retail company with over 200 employees and significant revenue ($9M+ est.), serving as the exclusive dealer for Chery in Nigeria. While the project submission was extremely poor (vague claims, lack of detail), external verification confirms robust physical infrastructure, strategic partnerships (NFF, Chery), and high real-world utility in the used car market. The low technical innovation (standard e-commerce/dealership model) and regional limitation prevent a higher score.
