Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

The project 'Zaapi' is a legitimate, venture-backed entity in Southeast Asia (raised ~$4.5M from Global Founders Capital, Partech, etc. in 2022) providing e-commerce tools for MSMEs. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('everyone' audience, 'most people' traction) and nonsensical data ('marketcap: null'). The score reflects the verified existence and significant VC backing of the company, heavily penalized by the poor response quality and the submitter's lack of seriousness.
