Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission represents a legitimate, long-standing physical business (Above the Poconos Skydivers, established 1961) rather than a technology project. While the business has real-world history, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing unsubstantiated and hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone'). As a tech project evaluation, it scores very low due to a lack of technical innovation, software scalability, and credible data provided in the form.
