+308
Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Vaave is a verifiable, established alumni networking platform (founded 2013) with significant operational scale (~50 employees, 1000+ institutional clients). However, the project submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing vague hyperboles ('most people have used my product', 'everyone') and outdated descriptions (promising a mobile app that has existed for years). While the real-world entity has stronger traction than the submission suggests (estimated $0.6M annual revenue), the disparity between the submission claims and verifiable reality, along with low revenue efficiency compared to team size, suppresses the final score. Ideally, this project would score higher with a competent submission.
