Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project 'Active Telecoms' appears to be a niche B2B news portal for the ICT/Telecom sector, potentially linked to Trace Media (launched ~2016). However, the submission is critically flawed: it claims 'most people have used my product' and targets 'everyone', which is factually incorrect for a specialized trade publication. The name 'LunarStone' in the JSON contradicts the project name, suggesting a copy-paste error. The 'market cap' revenue figure is ambiguous and non-standard. Due to the lack of verifiable traction data and the presence of exaggerated claims, the Proof of Usefulness score is heavily penalized, reflecting a disconnect between the submission's assertions and the likely reality of a small, niche media outlet.
