Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

26lights is a legitimate, established consultancy (Growth Architects) based in Belgium with over 14 years of experience and ~200 startup clients. However, the project submission is of extremely low quality, containing hyperbolic false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone') and missing financial/team data. While the underlying business has real-world utility in the B2B sector, the lack of scalable product mechanics and the poor quality of evidence provided result in a score within the 'Minimal Traction' range (0–100).
