Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission describes a digital and print adventure media brand, but the provided URL (base-mag.com) appears inactive or poorly indexed, and the claims of traction ('most people have used my product') are unverifiable and realistically exaggerated. The target audience of 'everyone' lacks strategic focus. Compared to established media brands like HackerNoon (Score: 333), this project demonstrates minimal proof of usefulness due to lack of verifiable evidence and low-quality submission data.
