Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project 'Emtec Ltd.' is a verified UK-based recruitment consultancy specializing in software engineering, operating via emtec.io. However, the submission treats this service business as a scalable technology product, resulting in a low score. The submission contains significant inaccuracies, claiming the audience is 'everyone' and that 'most people have used my product', which are demonstrably false for a niche recruitment agency. While the business is legitimate and has operated for several years (verified externally), it lacks the technical innovation, scalable product mechanics, and verifiable digital traction required for a high Proof of Usefulness score in a technology context. The input data quality was poor, with confusing revenue figures and exaggerated reach.
