Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

DesignCoz is a verified, established UI/UX agency (est. 2015) in Mumbai with ~21 employees and ~$610k annual revenue. They have an impressive portfolio including Paytm, Acko, and RBL Bank, validating their 'traction' claims despite the poor quality of the submission ('most people have used my product'). While the business is successful and profitable, it is a service agency rather than a scalable technology platform, and the submission lacked detail and professionalism. The score reflects strong external verification of their client base balanced against the service-based business model and low-effort input.
