Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Ephesus Solutions is a legitimate, certified Woman and Combat Veteran-owned staffing agency, but the submission suffers from significant quality issues and hyperbolic claims. While the business provides verifiable real-world utility in the staffing sector with active job listings, the claim that 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false for a B2B niche service. Additionally, the 'marketcap: 17000000' entry likely mislabels revenue or valuation, indicating a lack of precision. As a service-based business (Staffing & Recruiting) rather than a technology product, it scores low on innovation. The score reflects a functioning small business with poor submission data.
