Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Computek College is a verified, established educational institution in Ontario (active since 1991) with significant recent growth (recognized as a 'Top Growing Company' by The Globe and Mail). However, the project submission itself is of very poor quality, listing 'Higher Education' as a technology and making false claims about audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'). While the underlying business has real-world utility and verified revenue (likely >$5M annually), the submission fails to demonstrate technological innovation or proper project framing, resulting in a low PoU score primarily driven by its off-topic nature and low-effort input.
