Proof of Usefulness Score

The project is a standard local web design agency, but the submission suffers critically from low credibility and exaggerated claims. Stating 'most people have used my product' and an audience of 'everyone' for a Minnesota-based agency undermines trust. The description lacks specific technical details ('Computer Software'), and the 'marketcap' revenue figure is ambiguous. While the underlying service has theoretical utility, the 'Proof' provided is insufficient and poor in quality, resulting in a minimal score.
