+8
Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission describes a traditional in-store marketing/staffing agency rather than a technology project. There are significant discrepancies in the provided metrics (3,000 team members versus a $50,000 'marketcap'), and the claim that 'most people have used my product' appears hyperbolic and unverifiable. With no described technical innovation and a legacy service model, the project scores very low on the Proof of Usefulness scale tailored for technology assessment.
