Proof of Usefulness Score

Gaining Momentum

CASES is a legitimate and established professional social network and EdTech platform for the creative industries in Ukraine, with a verified team size of 11-50 and reputable partners (e.g., UNICEF, USAID). However, the project submission quality is extremely poor, containing factually incorrect claims ('most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone') and invalid data fields. While the real-world utility for its regional niche is high, the score is heavily penalized by the lack of verifiable metrics in the submission and the exaggerated reach claims.
