Proof of Usefulness Report

The Hub

Analysis completed on 1/31/2026

+504
Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The Hub Bengaluru is a verifiable, established co-living and co-working business (est. 2016) with significant local traction (250k+ social followers, ~26-56 employees, estimated multi-million annual revenue). However, the project submission itself was of extremely poor quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') and lacking specific metrics. The high score reflects the verified reality of the business operations rather than the quality of the application. The project shows strong real-world utility and market fit but lacks significant proprietary technical innovation, relying instead on standard social media and hospitality management tools.
