Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Lima Labs is a legitimate Agritech entity in Kenya (founded 2020) with verified B2B traction (e.g., AAA Growers, 50+ farms), utilizing drones and AI for yield prediction. However, the submission itself was of very low quality, containing false claims ('most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone') and lacking data. The high score reflects the verifiable real-world utility and external evidence of the project's existence and value, despite the poor submission effort.
