Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission describes a boutique research and analytics consultancy established in 2018. However, the PoU score is critically impacted by low-quality input data and hyperbolic claims (e.g., claiming 'most people have used my product' and 'everyone' as the audience). While the business may be legitimate, the submission lacks verifiable evidence of traction, revenue, or unique technical innovation. The inclusion of 'film' in technologies and the lack of specific case studies further reduce credibility. The project falls into the 'Minimal Traction/Red Flags' category based on the provided evidence.
