Proof of Usefulness Score
Unicorn Utility

Lalamove is a verifiable 'decacorn' (valued over $10B) and a dominant player in global logistics, operating in 11+ markets with massive traction (15M+ monthly active merchants, ~1.4M carriers). The project demonstrates exceptional real-world utility and reach. However, the submission itself was of very low quality, containing significant factual errors (stating a market cap of 17,000,000 instead of the actual ~$10B+) and lazy descriptions. The high score reflects the objective reality of the business's success and utility, heavily outweighing the poor quality of the submission form.
