Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Customs Window appears to be a legitimate B2B entity (Customs Window Ltd) addressing a high-utility problem (Brexit/EU trade compliance) with a claimed team size of 30, suggesting operational maturity beyond the 'Minimal Traction' tier. However, the submission quality is critically low, containing unverifiable or false claims (e.g., audience reach 'everyone', 'most people have used my product') and vague financial data ('marketcap 2500000'). While the core business utility and market timing are strong, the score is heavily penalized by the lack of credible evidence in the submission and the realistic niche nature of the product versus the exaggerated reach claims.
