Proof of Usefulness Score

You're In Business

The submission describes a personal digital marketing consultancy but features highly exaggerated and unverifiable claims regarding audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'). The revenue metric provided ('all time marketcap: 500000') is nonsensical for a service business. While digital marketing services inherently provide real-world utility, the lack of an innovative technical product and the exceptionally poor quality of the submitted evidence result in a very low PoU score.
