Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The Red Jackets is a legitimate, established non-profit association supporting Latvian exporters, with verifiable partners (BDO, Primekss) and physical outputs (books). However, the project submission contains significant inaccuracies, claiming 'everyone' as the audience and 'most people' as users, which are false for a niche B2B organization. The reported financials ('marketcap: 50000') appear to be a misunderstanding of terms. While the real-world utility for the local economy is solid, the digital execution and submission quality lag behind, resulting in a score reflecting a 'small but promising' local initiative rather than a scalable tech venture.
