Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Durban Offshoring is a verifiable service agency helping UK businesses outsource to South Africa, specifically targeting the accountancy sector. While the business demonstrates real-world utility and solves a genuine staffing problem (verified via external search), the submission itself is of poor quality. Key fields contain hyperbolic and false claims (e.g., audience is 'everyone', traction is 'most people have used my product'), which significantly penalizes the score. Furthermore, the project is a consultancy service rather than a technology innovation, resulting in minimal scores for technical novelty. The low score reflects a functional small business that lacks the scale, tech differentiation, and credible reporting required for a high PoU rating.
