Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Kynnova offers practical IT modernization services for Quebec SMEs, fulfilling a genuine market need. However, the submission is severely marred by highly exaggerated traction claims ('most people have used my product'), vague audience definitions ('everyone'), and lack of specific metrics. As an IT consultancy rather than a scalable product, its technical innovation is limited to service implementation. The score reflects a regional agency with unverified claims and poor response quality, placing it in the small/promising but unproven tier.
