Proof of Usefulness Score

The project appears to be a small, local recruitment agency based in Lagos, rather than a scalable technology product. The submission contains significant red flags, including hyperbolic traction claims ('most people have used my product') and confusing financial metrics ('marketcap' likely referring to cumulative revenue in local currency). With no verifiable web traffic, a discrepancy in team size (LinkedIn shows 2-10 employees vs. 30 claimed), and no demonstrated technical innovation, the project scores very low on the Proof of Usefulness scale tailored for tech startups.
