Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project appears to be a legitimate local independent retailer in Tyneside, UK, offering children's apparel and gifts. However, the PoU submission is extremely sparse, lacks verifiable metrics, and includes hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product') that severely undermine credibility. As a standard e-commerce/retail operation without custom technology or documented scale, it scores within the low range reserved for minimal traction projects.
