Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

ProDevs is a legitimate, active African tech talent outsourcing agency founded around 2016-2018 with verified traction (35+ employees, ~15,000 talent pool, media coverage in TechCabal). However, the submission itself is of extremely poor quality, containing spam-like placeholders ('audienceReach: everyone', 'marketcap: null') and verifiable falsehoods in the description ('most people have used my product'). The score reflects the strong underlying business fundamentals and real-world utility of connecting African talent to global markets, heavily penalized by the unprofessional submission data.
