Proof of Usefulness Score

Certified Problem Solver

UMAI is a legitimate, established restaurant reservation platform (founded 2016) with verifiable traction (approx. 40 employees, active in SEA). However, the submission quality is extremely low, containing hyperbolic claims ('audience reach: everyone') and lacking specific evidence. The score reflects the strong underlying reality of the business (verified via external search) heavily penalized by the poor quality of the 'Proof' provided in the submission.
