Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Aboutships Limited is a verified UK-based maritime advisory firm led by industry veteran Manish Singh. However, the project submission is of critically low quality, containing demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience 'everyone') and confused metrics (market cap vs. revenue). While the business exists and operates in a relevant sector (Blue Economy/ESG), it is a service consultancy rather than a technology product. The score is heavily penalized for lack of technical innovation and the submission's lack of credibility.
