Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Januar ApS is a legitimate, Danish FSA-licensed payment institution providing critical IBAN infrastructure to crypto businesses. External verification confirms a ~$30.9M valuation (matching the submitted 'marketcap' figure) and significant seed funding (€6M). However, the submission quality is extremely poor, containing false claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') and hallucinations ('construction' technology). The score reflects the high real-world utility and verified traction of the underlying business, heavily penalized for the inaccurate and low-effort submission data.
