Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

DeckLinks is a legitimate B2B SaaS product offering video-enhanced PDF tracking and analytics, addressing a clear need in remote sales enablement. External verification confirms the product is active with pricing, testimonials, and functional features comparable to competitors like DocSend. However, the project submission itself contains highly inaccurate and hyperbolic data (claiming 'most people have used my product' and 'everyone' as the audience), which severely penalized the Response Quality, Traction, and Audience Reach metrics. While the underlying technology and utility are sound, the score is dragged down by the lack of credible evidence provided in this specific entry.
