Kinzoo is a verified, revenue-generating company (est. $1.8M/yr) with significant app store presence (>100k downloads, 4.8 stars), solving a genuine problem in child safety/privacy. However, the submission quality was abysmal (e.g., claiming 'most people have used my product'), which heavily penalized the Response Quality and Traction metrics. The project itself is solid, comparable in scale to the calibration benchmark, but the score is suppressed by the lack of effort in the Proof of Usefulness application.
