Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Dazzly is a verified, functional website builder targeting New Zealand small businesses, with positive local reviews (100+ on Google). However, the submission itself contained significant hyperbole (claiming 'most people have used my product' and 'audience reach: everyone') and lacked verifiable data. While the product has real-world utility for its niche, the PoU score is heavily penalized by the low quality of the input data and the vast discrepancy between the claimed and actual reach.
