Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Delight Foods (delightfoods.com) is a verifiable e-commerce platform based in India, operating since 2014 and backed by investors like Fireside Ventures. While the project is legitimate and solves a clear logistical problem for regional Indian cuisine, the submission itself is of poor quality, containing exaggerated claims ('most people have used my product', 'everyone') and confusing financial data (market cap figure likely erroneous or unit-confused). Real-world data indicates a modest valuation (~$3.5M USD) and niche market presence, significantly smaller than the 'everyone' claimed. The score reflects the project's longevity and utility, penalized by the lack of recent high-growth traction and the low quality of the provided evidence.
