Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Cold3r is a 6-person management consultancy established in 2011, rather than a scalable technology product. The submission contains unsupported and highly exaggerated claims regarding audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'). No custom technology is demonstrated, resulting in a minimal traction score and a heavy 0.5 quality penalty across all criteria for vague and inaccurate responses.
