Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Woolf is a verifiable, accredited Higher Education Institution (HEI) licensed in Malta (EHEA), operating as a 'collegiate university' platform. External search confirms ~$7.5M+ in funding (Series A) and partnerships with edtech providers (e.g., Scaler). However, the project submission itself is of extremely poor quality, containing false claims (audience: 'everyone', traction: 'most people have used my product'). While the project has high real-world utility and technical innovation (accreditation-as-code), the score is significantly penalized due to the unreliable submission data and false user reach claims.
