Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Startup Designers is a legitimate and active design community in Israel with verifiable traction (8,000+ Meetup members), offering genuine utility through mentoring and events. However, the submission quality is critically low, containing exaggerated claims ('everyone' audience, '17M marketcap', '125 team') that contradict the project's actual local, niche nature. While it dominates its specific local market, its global reach and technical innovation are minimal. The score reflects a 'Small but promising' local project, heavily penalized for inaccurate data entry.
