Proof of Usefulness Report

Cooke Consulting Ltd.

Analysis completed on 3/7/2026

+35
Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project is a legitimate boutique management consulting firm based in the UK and Jersey, servicing high-profile financial clients like RBS and Virgin Money. However, the submission is for a professional service business rather than a technology product, resulting in a near-zero innovation score in this framework. The response quality is poor, containing hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people') and data entry errors (revenue listed as marketcap). While the business has real-world utility, it lacks the scalability and technical leverage required for a high PoU score.
