Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The project 'Power Financial Wellness' is a verifiable, VC-backed fintech company based in Kenya (raised $3M Seed in 2023) addressing a high-utility problem (financial wellness for the workforce). However, the submission itself is of extremely poor quality, submitted by a pseudonym ('IronFang') with false claims regarding reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'). While the entity is legitimate and promising, the evaluation relies heavily on external verification rather than the provided evidence, resulting in significant penalties to the Quality Factors. The score reflects a legitimate 'Small but promising' company, discounted for a low-credibility submission.
