Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Neural Labs Africa is a verifiable, legitimate startup (UNICEF Venture Fund backed) developing AI for medical imaging in Kenya and Senegal. However, the project submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing demonstrably false claims ('most people have used my product', 'everyone') and nonsense data ('marketcap: null'). While the underlying technology and mission have high real-world utility and verified early-stage traction (clinical trials), the score is severely penalized by the lack of credible evidence provided in the submission and the early-stage nature of the verified traction (minimal user base vs. claims).
