Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project 'Doran Tax' appears to be a standard local CPA/tax advisory firm based in St. Paul, MN, rather than a technology startup. While the business is legitimate and verified (dorantax.com), the submission suffers from critical quality issues: the project name 'DeepHunter' conflicts with the description, the audience reach is falsely claimed as 'everyone', and traction claims ('most people have used my product') are hyperbolic and unverifiable. With no technological innovation presented and a submission riddled with inaccuracies, the score reflects a traditional service business evaluated in a technology framework.
