Proof of Usefulness Score
Lab Mode

The submission for Directions10 Inc. contains multiple critical red flags and demonstrable falsehoods. While it describes itself as a leading provider of 'bimodal digital business services' to the 'Global 1000', there is no verifiable digital footprint to support this existence. The claim that 'most people have used my product' is objectively false for an obscure B2B consultancy with a team of 6. Furthermore, listing a 'marketcap' of 500,000 suggests a misunderstanding of basic financial metrics or a lack of commercial reality. The discrepancy between the grandiose claims (serving Global 1000, reach 'everyone') and the lack of evidence results in a negative score.
