Proof of Usefulness Score

Gaining Momentum

The project addresses a valuable B2B niche in geospatial analytics, but the submission is undermined by highly exaggerated claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', reach is 'everyone') and a severe lack of concrete metrics. While the company has survived since 2018 with a team of 6, verifiable traction and response quality are poor, resulting in a below-average PoU score.
