Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Verified as a legitimate and active .NET developer community in Cameroon with ~2,500 members and successful events (e.g., .NET Conf Cameroon). However, the submission itself contained massive exaggerations ('most people have used my product') and incorrect terminology ('marketcap'). The project has high local utility and community impact, but the score is penalized heavily by the poor quality and lack of seriousness in the application data.
