Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The submission describes an IT and data analytics recruiting agency. While it has practical real-world utility in solving hiring needs, technical innovation is non-existent as it relies on standard staffing models rather than a scalable software product. The evaluation is heavily penalized for absurd and unverifiable claims, such as 'everyone' for audience reach and 'most people have used my product' for traction, resulting in a low overall evidence quality factor.
