Payshiga (Shiga) addresses a high-value problem regarding cross-border payments and currency exchange for the African diaspora, a market with significant demand due to FX volatility. However, the project submission suffers from severe credibility issues, claiming 'most people have used my product' while external verification reveals fewer than 1,000 downloads on the Google Play Store. While the product is live and functional, it is in an extremely early stage with minimal verifiable traction compared to established competitors. The low score reflects the disparity between the submission's hyperbolic claims and the actual early-stage reality.
