Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission describes a data consultancy with vague and exaggerated claims regarding audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'). While data consultancy and AI orchestration have real-world utility, the poorly substantiated metrics, lack of clear revenue figures, and low response quality result in a very low PoU score, reflecting minimal verifiable traction compared to the calibration standard.
