Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The submission identifies 'Builders' (builders.studio), a verifiable venture studio in Rotterdam founded in 2021 with ~$5.25M in funding and ~8 employees. However, the submission quality is critically low, featuring mismatching data (Business Type 'Custom Home Construction' conflicts with the software studio URL), a confusing alias 'SwiftKeeper' (likely the submitter's handle), and hyperbolic/false traction claims ('most people have used my product'). The score reflects the legitimate existence and capital backing of the studio, heavily penalized for the lack of specific product detail and the delusional audience/traction claims.
