Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission describes 'Edward Alexander Executive Search', a standard recruitment agency, rather than a technology project. The input data contains significant red flags, including demonstrably false claims of audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'). There is no evidence of technical innovation, as the technology is listed merely as 'Staffing & Recruiting'. The revenue metric is confused ('marketcap' vs revenue). Consequently, the project receives a minimal score due to lack of technical utility, low-quality submission data, and absence of verifiable product traction.
