Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The project 'Sema Telecom' appears to be a legitimate small-to-medium enterprise (SME) based in Bamako, Mali (or France), specializing in security hardware installation (cameras, alarms). However, the submission conflates this local business with the historical 'Sema Group' (SMS pioneers), leading to false claims like 'most people have used my product'. The revenue claim of '75,000,000' likely refers to CFA Francs (~$120k USD), which aligns with a 30-person local team, rather than USD or market cap. The project has real-world utility as a local service provider but lacks global reach or technical novelty. The score reflects a functional business heavily penalized for inaccurate reach claims and low-quality submission data.
