Artisan Talent

Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission represents 'Artisan Talent', a legitimate and established creative staffing agency (est. 1988). However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing hyperbolic and factually incorrect claims (e.g., audience reach is 'everyone', evidence of traction is 'most people have used my product'). The 'Marketcap: 17000000' figure likely confuses private valuation or revenue with public market capitalization. No technical innovation is presented, as the entry describes a standard service business rather than a technology product. The score reflects the existence of the business but is heavily penalized for lack of verifiable evidence, false claims, and poor submission quality.
