Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

1P is a verified small business (1-10 employees) based in NYC/Queens, actively hiring for e-commerce and operations roles. The project claims to manufacture sustainable hemp composites and experiment with machine learning. However, the submission is deliberately obfuscated ('purposely obtuse'), providing no verifiable metrics, revenue, or specific product details to substantiate the bold claim that 'most people have used my product.' While the commitment to local, sustainable manufacturing is laudable, the lack of transparency and data severely limits the Proof of Usefulness score.

Description
We service retail online, via marketplaces (new) and b2b to shops around the world. Using that customer access to promote stuff we enjoy like independent music. Experimenting with machine learning and bots to improve the customer experience and stay ahead of the competition and future pandemics.\n\nWe are also implementing in-house manufacturing in Queens. Currently in the DFMA phase while moving to full automation is the goal. The product line is sustainable with recycled and hemp composites. 98% less plastic than the competition and Made in NYC rather than China.\n\nOur company name is purposely obtuse. This way we can find the best candidates for open positions rather than someone who may want to work in our niche industry for the wrong reasons ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯.
