Proof of Usefulness Report

Design in Mind

Analysis completed on 2/7/2026

+15
Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission describes a creative agency ('Design in Mind') rather than a technology product. While the agency likely provides valid services, the submission suffers from significant quality issues, including hyperbolic and unverifiable claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience reach 'everyone'). The metric 'all time marketcap: 2500000' is confusing and mathematically inconsistent with a claimed team size of 125 employees over 20+ years. Lacking technical innovation or verifiable traction data, the project scores very low on the PoU scale compared to technology platforms.
