Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Gigl (getgigl.com) is a verifiable, seed-funded video recruitment platform based in the UK, solving a genuine problem in the hospitality gig economy. However, the project submission is of exceptionally poor quality, featuring a single-character description and demonstrably false claims of traction ('everyone', 'most people have used my product'). While the underlying business has utility and some market presence (Seed funding, ~50k+ users), the score is heavily penalized by the lack of credible evidence provided in the submission and the exaggeration of reach.
