Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project 'EquipmentFX' (erroneously titled 'SwiftBlade' in the submission) represents a long-standing B2B consultancy in the heavy equipment industry, operational since 2007. While the business itself is legitimate with verifiable history and niche utility, the submission quality is critically low. Claims such as 'everyone' for audience reach and 'most people have used my product' for traction are demonstrably false and severely undermine the credibility of the entry. The revenue figure ($17M 'marketcap') likely represents lifetime gross revenue over 17 years (~$1M/year), indicating a stable but small-scale service business rather than a high-growth tech venture. The score reflects the reality of a valid small business penalized heavily for inaccurate and exaggerated submission data.
