Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Goia Technologies Ltd is a verified UK-based cybersecurity startup (incorporated ~2024) targeting SMEs with AI-driven protection. While the project addresses a genuine real-world problem and has a functional professional presence, the PoU submission itself is of extremely low quality. The submitter makes demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience is 'everyone') and confuses basic financial metrics ('marketcap' listed as monthly revenue). Although the business is legitimate and the timing is favorable, the lack of verifiable traction data and the hyperbolic nature of the submission result in a low score, placing it in the 'minimal traction' category.
