Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Gaia Africa is a legitimate, verifiable private members' business club for women leaders in Lagos, Nigeria, with a physical location (Gaia House) and documented media presence (Business Insider, BellaNaija). However, the project submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing false or nonsensical claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone', 'marketcap: 17000000'). While the underlying business has high utility and verifiable traction within its elite niche, the submission fails to demonstrate technical innovation (it is primarily a hospitality/networking business) and lacks accurate data. The score reflects the existence of a successful physical business weighed against the lack of technical novelty and the poor quality of the input data.
