Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The project 'ishirika' (ishirika.com) is a legitimate and impactful agritech platform offering decision support and farm management for smallholder farmers in Kenya and Nigeria, with verified adoption by the Nigeria Agricultural Seed Council (NASC). However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('most people have used my product', 'technologies used: leadership') and missing data. The score reflects the high real-world utility and verified B2G traction, heavily penalized for the lack of accurate user-submitted evidence and the niche nature of the actual audience compared to the claimed 'everyone'.
