Proof of Usefulness Score

You're In Business

While PaveHQ aims to address a highly relevant problem in African international education mobility, the submission is severely compromised by vague, unsupported, and exaggerated claims (e.g., claiming 'everyone' as the audience and stating 'most people have used my product'). The lack of verifiable metrics, combined with poor response quality, results in a low score consistent with a project exhibiting minimal verifiable traction.
