Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

OrangeShark is a legitimate, active HR Tech and recruitment platform based in Hyderabad, India, confirmed via external search to have a functional ATS and active job listings. However, the project submission is of extremely low quality, containing demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience 'everyone'). While the business has verifiable real-world utility and a standard operational footprint, the dishonesty in the submission and lack of provided evidence heavily penalize the Quality Factors and Response score, positioning it in the 'Small but promising' tier rather than higher.
