Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Kimoyo Insights is a legitimate, venture-backed user research platform (Precursor Ventures, Techstars) solving a critical 'data desert' problem in Africa. External verification confirms robust traction with clients like Microsoft, Flutterwave, and Amazon, and ~$150k+ in early revenue, contradicting the submission's hyperbolic claim that 'most people have used my product'. While the project itself is high-utility and well-timed for the growing African tech market, the submission quality was extremely poor (vague audience, false traction claims), resulting in significant penalties to the Quality Factors. The score reflects a promising early-stage B2B company (100-250 range) weighed down by a low-effort submission.
