Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Yavin is a legitimate, venture-backed French fintech company providing modern Android payment terminals for merchants. While the external reality shows a promising 'Series A' stage company with verifiable hardware and partnerships, the project submission itself was of very poor quality, featuring hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and missing key metrics. The score reflects the solid real-world utility and market timing of the actual business, heavily penalized for the unsubstantiated claims and lack of effort in the submission data.
