Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Agnes Bio is a legitimate boutique scientific consulting firm founded by Marie Weston, providing verifiable services in the biotech/AI interface. However, the project submission is of extremely low quality, containing demonstrable falsehoods (claiming 'most people' have used the product), inaccurate audience targeting ('everyone'), and confusing financial metrics ('marketcap' for a consultancy). While the underlying business is real and relevant to the Bio-AI market, the submission fails to provide credible proof of usefulness, severely impacting the score.
