Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project represents a verified brick-and-mortar footwear manufacturer ('Ark Shoes Atelier') in Agra, India, rather than a software technology venture. While the business utility of footwear manufacturing is tangible, the submission lacks credible evidence of the claimed 'everyone' reach or 'most people' traction. Independent verification found a local business listing with minimal digital footprint (3 ratings on Justdial) and no verifiable data to support the team size or revenue claims. The 'all time marketcap: null' and vague responses significantly lowered the score.
