Proof of Usefulness Score

You're In Business

The project 'Ujama Inc.' appears to be a discontinued or pivoting service, as the official website (ujama.co) currently states 'Our service is no longer available.' The submission contains significant red flags, including verifiable falsehoods regarding traction ('most people have used my product') and team size (claimed 125, actual ~3-17). The revenue/marketcap figure is nonsensical, and the audience reach claim ('everyone') is unsubstantiated. While the original app had a valid community-building concept, the current dormant status and low-quality submission result in a minimal score.
