Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission describes a standard legal recruitment consultancy rather than a technological innovation. Claims regarding audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product') are highly exaggerated and contradictory for a bespoke agency launched in 2025 with a team of 6. Given the lack of custom technology, non-verifiable metrics like 'all time marketcap: 50000', and spam-like submission data, the project receives a minimal PoU score reflecting negligible tech impact.
