+255
Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Softway is a well-established digital agency (founded 2003) with significant verifiable traction (116+ employees, estimated $20M+ revenue), demonstrating high real-world utility in the B2B sector. However, the project submission itself is of very low quality, containing factually incorrect hyperbole (claiming 'most people have used my product' and audience is 'everyone') and generic descriptions. While the underlying business is strong and financially stable, the 'Proof of Usefulness' score is constrained by the poor quality of the application and the service-based (linear scaling) nature of the business model compared to high-leverage tech platforms.
