Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Hello World Saigon is a verifiable physical co-working and co-living space in Ho Chi Minh City, verified by online reviews (avg 4.6 stars). However, the submission fails as a technology project evaluation. The 'Audience Reach' and 'Traction' claims are hyperbolic ('everyone', 'most people') and factually incorrect for a local hospitality business. The 'Market Cap' figure is ambiguous (likely a currency confusion or valuation error). While the physical business has local utility, it lacks the technical innovation, scalability, and digital traction required for a high PoU score in a technology context.
