Proof of Usefulness Score

The submission features highly inconsistent and unsupported claims, such as 'most people have used my product', which directly contradicts its identity as a boutique consultancy. Financial and scale claims ('all time marketcap: 500000', team of 30 since 2013) do not align with reality, suggesting a low-effort or test submission. Verifiable traction and technical backing are missing, leading to the lowest quality factor (0.5) applied across all criteria.
