Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Equanimity Search is a legitimate, recently established (2023) recruitment-to-recruitment (Rec2Rec) agency based in the UK, not a technology product. While the business shows signs of activity—such as being a finalist for industry awards and having verified testimonials—the submission is heavily plagued by hyperbole and inaccuracy. Claims that 'everyone' is the audience and 'most people' have used the product are demonstrably false for a niche B2B service. The 'marketcap' figure appears to be a misunderstanding of financial terminology or an unverified valuation. The project lacks technical innovation as it is a standard service consultancy, resulting in a low score despite its functional utility as a small business.
