Balmoral Global Capital Ltd.

+40
Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission represents a legitimate boutique capital introduction firm ('Balmoral Global Capital Ltd') specializing in energy and infrastructure. However, the PoU score is heavily penalized by a low-quality submission that includes objectively false claims (e.g., audience reach is 'everyone', traction is 'most people have used my product'). While the firm actively participates in industry events (e.g., IN-VR energy summits) and has verifiable principals, the lack of specific deal flow evidence and the unprofessional nature of the input data (project name 'ThunderHunter' vs description) result in a score reflecting a 'real business with poor validation'.
