Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

BD Talent is a legitimate, recently established 'one-woman band' recruitment agency in the UK, not a scalable technology product. The submission contains hyperbolic and factually incorrect claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone') which severely impact credibility. While the founder has industry experience, the project lacks technical innovation, custom technology, or verifiable traction metrics relevant to the Proof of Usefulness framework. The use of terms like 'marketcap' for a consultancy's revenue indicates a lack of precision.
