Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Primebook is a verified high-growth hardware startup addressing the 'digital divide' in India with affordable Android-based laptops. Despite a low-effort submission (incorrect project name 'WhisperHunter', lazy text in fields), external verification confirms significant traction: ₹62 Cr (~$7.4M) FY25 ARR, 60,000+ units sold, and investment from Shark Tank India. The project solves a genuine, massive problem (Real-World Utility) and has achieved impressive market penetration (Traction) that far exceeds the submitted claims. The score is heavily buoyed by verified external performance, though penalized slightly for the submission's poor quality and copy-paste errors.
