Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The project 'Edlatam Alliance' (submitted with the erroneous name 'SwiftRider') is a verified and reputable education innovation network in Latin America led by the recognized expert Fernando Valenzuela. While the organization itself demonstrates high real-world utility, strong industry connections (Google, UNESCO, Tecnológico de Monterrey), and probable revenue in the millions (implied $2.5M market cap/revenue), the submission quality is critically poor. Fields containing placeholder text ('most people have used my product') and incorrect names require a significant penalty. The score reflects the legitimacy of the underlying business, adjusted downward for the lack of professional care in the Proof of Usefulness application.
