Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission for Cityscope contains significant contradictions and unverifiable claims that undermine its credibility. While the stated goal of fighting disinformation is noble, the business type is listed as 'Human Resources Consulting,' and the traction claim ('most people have used my product') is demonstrably false for a project with no visible digital footprint on the provided domain. The launch date of 1995 contradicts the lack of brand recognition. The submission lacks evidence of execution, technology, or user base.
