Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Qashier is a legitimate, high-traction fintech startup based in Singapore, offering integrated POS and payment solutions. While the project submission itself was of very low quality (containing hyperbolic claims like 'most people have used my product' and lacking data), external verification confirms significant scale: ~200 employees, over 12,000 merchant clients, and >$1B in processed transaction volume (Series A funded). The project scores highly on utility and verifiable traction, but the final score is dampened by the poor response quality and regional (rather than global) reach.
