Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Mediaiplus (FiCRO) is a legitimate South Korean startup founded in 2019 offering a B2B clinical trial matching platform. Search verification confirms promising traction with ~$1.5M projected 2025 revenue, ~160 CRO partnerships, and participation in CES 2025. However, the project submission itself was of extremely poor quality, containing demonstrable falsehoods (claiming audience is 'everyone' and 'most people have used my product' for a niche B2B service) and inaccurate data (likely confusing team size with the unrelated German 'Mediaplus Group'). The score reflects the high real-world utility of the actual business, heavily penalized by the lack of credible evidence provided in the submission.
