Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

InstaVal is a verified B2B platform for startup valuation and investment readiness, based in Dubai with ~$400k seed funding (2019) and over 10,000 users. While the project has verifiable real-world utility and traction in its niche, the submission itself contained significantly exaggerated claims (e.g., audience 'everyone', traction 'most people') and poor data quality. The score reflects the project's actual promising status ('Small but promising' category) but is penalized for the lack of credible evidence provided in the input.
