Paperound is a verifiable UK-based HRTech startup (founded 2021) that connects university students with small businesses for micro-internships ('taskers'). While the project has a valid business model, verified funding, and partnerships with ~20 universities (per external search), the user submission was extremely low-quality. The claim 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false and hyperbolic, and the technical details provided were generic. The score reflects the legitimate potential and existence of the platform, heavily penalized for the lack of verifiable evidence in the submission and the early-stage nature of the venture compared to established benchmarks.
