Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission represents a verifiable local construction business (C.R. Collins Construction LLC) in Oregon/Washington rather than a technology project. While the business is legitimate and licensed (CCB# 182617), the submission contains hyperbolic and inaccurate claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone'). The stated metrics ($500k all-time revenue for a 30-person team over 15 years) are mathematically inconsistent and suggest data entry errors. As a standard service business with no software or hardware innovation, it scores low on the PoU scale designed for scalable technology ventures.
