Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

While Barclays Wealth Management is a legitimate, established division of a major global bank, this submission fails to demonstrate specific technological utility or innovation relevant to the Proof of Usefulness framework. The entry lists 'leadership' as the sole technology and provides hyperbolic, unverifiable claims regarding audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people'). The submission appears to be a low-effort entry relying on brand legacy (founded 1690) rather than presenting a concrete technology project for evaluation.
