You're In Business

iSHEERO is a verifiable non-profit association in Benin focused on AI education and data science, evidenced by partnerships with Microsoft AI for Good and local bootcamps (Africa TechUp Tour). However, the project submission contains significant exaggerations (claiming 'everyone' as audience and 'most people have used my product' as traction), which severely impacted the score. While the real-world utility of promoting AI in Africa is high, the project operates as a service/education initiative rather than a scalable software product, and its current digital reach is regional rather than global.
