Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

HumanX (humanx.io) is a verified, established strategic design consultancy based in India (founded ~2017) with a team size of ~40 employees. External validation confirms high-profile clients including Pearson, Omidyar Network, and the National Payments Corporation of India (BHIM app). However, the submission quality is critically low, containing incorrect categorization ('Artificial Intelligence' likely confused with the separate HumanX AI conference), invalid financial data, and hyperbolic traction claims ('most people have used my product'). While the underlying business is a solid SME with significant indirect impact, the project submission itself scores lower due to poor evidence quality and service-based nature (lower scalability than tech products).
