Edison & Black

Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission for 'Edison & Black' lacks verifiable data and contains contradictory information (ServiceNow Consulting vs. Recruiting Auto-pilot). The claim that 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false and severely damages credibility. With no significant digital footprint found despite a claimed 2018 launch, and an unrealistic audience definition ('everyone'), the project scores extremely low on traction and reach metrics.
