+86.9
Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission for Bluestone Consulting lacks verifiable metrics and makes highly dubious claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product'). As a generalized IT and software development consultancy, it provides real-world utility but demonstrates no technical innovation, custom tech, or clear audience targeting. The vague responses and absence of genuine traction signals result in a very low PoU score.
