Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

DecisiveInstincts LLC is a verified GovCon business with strong 8(a) and ID/IQ credentials. While their market timing and utility in the government sector are solid, the submission features heavily exaggerated and contradictory claims regarding audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'). The lack of specific evidence for the listed technical capabilities and the poor response quality significantly reduce the overall score.
