Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

January Capital is a verified, legitimate venture capital firm based in Singapore with significant traction (>$130M AUM, 100+ investments). However, the project submission is of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('most people have used my product', 'everyone') and nonsensical data ('marketcap: null'). The final score reflects the high real-world utility of the firm itself, heavily penalized (50% reduction) due to the poor quality and reliability of the submission signals.
