Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The project 'Origami' (joinorigami.com) appears to be a legitimate DAO infrastructure platform backed by Y Combinator (W22). However, the submission provided contains severe factual inaccuracies, including a 2009 launch date (actual ~2022) and a team size of 300+ (likely <20). The claim that 'most people have used my product' is verifiably false. While the underlying technology has real-world utility for DAOs, the 'Evidence of Traction' and 'Response Quality' scores are heavily penalized due to the unreliable and hyperbolic nature of the input data.
