Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission describes a standard recruitment consultancy (Distinct Consultancy Group Ltd) rather than a technology project. The input data contains significant inaccuracies, including a mismatched project name ('WhisperStorm'), unrealistic audience claims ('everyone'), and demonstrably false traction statements ('most people have used my product'). External verification confirms the entity exists but is a micro-enterprise (<10 employees) rather than the claimed size. The project lacks technical innovation and the submission quality is critically low.
