Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

ZoopUp is a verifiable freelance marketplace based in India (founded 2020) with a functional app (approx. 50k downloads) and minimal revenue (~$12.8K annually according to Tracxn). The submission contains significant exaggerations, claiming 'most people' have used the product and listing an ambiguous 'marketcap' of 17,000,000 without currency. While the platform has real-world utility and a small user base, the disparity between the claimed 'everyone' reach and the actual niche market presence, combined with low-effort submission data, heavily impacts the score. It falls into the 'Minimal traction' category compared to the calibration baseline.
