Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Hopara is a legitimate data visualization platform (YC S20), but the submission is severely flawed. It contains demonstrably false claims ('most people have used my product'), lacks specific technical details, and fails to articulate its utility. While the underlying technology (GPU-accelerated maps) has merit, the poor response quality and lack of verifiable traction data in the submission result in a low score, categorized under 'Minimal Traction'.
