Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

OCI Travels is a verifiable, operational Travel & Tourism agency with a physical presence in Nigeria and Dubai and approximately 30 employees. However, the submission falsely frames a standard service SME as a technology project. Key claims regarding audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product') are hyperbolic and unsupported. The project lacks technical innovation, relying on standard industry practices. While it has real-world business utility, it scores low as a technology submission due to zero proprietary tech and poor data accuracy.
