Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Riwaya is a legitimate, functioning UK-based marketplace for Islamic products, featuring a curated selection of sellers. However, the project submission contains significant inaccuracies and hyperbole that severely impact its score. The claim that 'most people have used my product' is contradicted by verifiable data (e.g., <10 reviews on Trustpilot). The revenue figure appears to be a valuation ('marketcap') rather than actual cash flow. While the platform addresses a clear niche utility (Halal/Ethical shopping), the lack of verifiable traction and the poor quality of the submission (e.g., Audience Reach defined as 'everyone') result in a low PoU score matching the 'Minimal Traction' calibration.
