Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission describes 'Dalton Technologies Inc.', a mobile app and IoT consulting firm. While the business type has inherent utility, the submission is critically undermined by hyperbolic and unverifiable claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience reach of 'everyone'). The financial metric provided ($500k 'marketcap', likely lifetime revenue over ~7 years) indicates a small-scale freelance or boutique operation rather than a high-growth venture. The input contains conflicting data (Project Name vs. 'IronFang') and lacks specific evidence of innovation or reach. The score reflects a functional small business with poor documentation and unrealistic self-assessment.
