Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Arcanite is an established Swiss IT services and consulting firm with legitimate real-world utility in custom IT, DevOps, and AI. However, the submission contains vague, exaggerated, and contradictory claims regarding audience reach ('everyone'), traction ('most people have used my product'), and revenue ('all time marketcap: 50000'). These inconsistencies severely limit the verifiable evidence of traction and negatively impact the response quality. The score reflects a viable baseline business penalized by poor and unsupported submission data.
