Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

KansoCloud is a verifiable cloud consulting firm with estimated revenues of ~$1.4M and a small team (~16 employees) operating in India and the US. However, the submission itself ('StarForge') is of extremely low quality, containing hyperbolic and demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience 'everyone'). While the underlying business appears legitimate and functional, the lack of distinct proprietary technology, the generic nature of the services, and the poor submission quality significantly cap the score. The project is evaluated as a standard B2B service provider rather than a high-growth tech product.
