Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Core Team One Ltd is a verifiable, legitimate Managed Service Provider (MSP) based in West Yorkshire, established in 2018. External data confirms a team size of ~14 (submission claims 30) and a functional business model serving local SMEs. However, the project submission is of critically low quality, containing hyperbolic and factually incorrect claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience reach of 'everyone'). While the business has real-world utility as a service provider, it lacks the scalable technical innovation or broad market traction required for a higher score. The 'marketcap' figure likely represents cumulative revenue or an estimated valuation, which aligns with a micro-entity classification.
