+674
Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Payzli is a legitimate, high-traction fintech company offering payment and POS solutions for the beauty and wellness industry. External verification confirms significant scale with estimated annual revenue of ~$17.9M, $6M in funding, and a team of 60-70 employees, far exceeding the calibration baseline. However, the project submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product'), lazy audience definitions ('everyone'), and placeholder data ('marketcap: null'). While the technical and business fundamentals are strong, the score is adjusted to reflect the poor quality of the provided information while acknowledging the verifiable real-world success.
