Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Chipper Cash is a verifiable 'unicorn' fintech company with significant market penetration in Africa and cross-border remittance corridors. Despite a low-quality submission (vague claims like 'everyone' and 'most people'), the external reality of the project confirms high utility, massive traction (~5M+ users), and substantial valuation (~$1.25B). The score reflects the project's established success and scale (scoring 700+ per calibration for major scale), slightly penalized by the lack of specific evidence provided in the submission text itself.
