The project 'Hupro Japan' (operating as Hupro Inc.) is a verified, venture-backed Japanese startup (Series B, ~$5M+ total funding) providing a specialized recruitment platform for tax and legal professionals. While the real-world business has significant traction (20,000+ registered users, TV commercials, industry recognition), the submission itself is of exceptionally poor quality. It contains incorrect naming ('LunarHunter'), false/exaggerated claims ('everyone', 'most people'), and nonsensical data ('marketcap: 2030000'). The Proof of Usefulness score is anchored by the verifiable external success of the business (comparable to the calibration reference) but heavily penalized by the lack of direct evidence and low effort in the submission.
