Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Kiko (KIKO Realtors, Auctioneers & Advisors) is a legitimate, established real estate and auction firm in Ohio, founded in 1945 with significant regional scale (~1,100 auctions/year). However, the project submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('everyone' as audience), non-technological descriptions, and likely erroneous financial data ('2.5M all time marketcap' for a 350-person firm). While the verified business entity is highly capable and useful (warranting a base score in the 400-700 range), the poor response quality and lack of digital innovation evidence severely penalize the final PoU score.
