Proof of Usefulness Score

Lab Mode

Esotericode offers relevant cybersecurity and custom software development services. However, the submission is severely penalized for exaggerated and demonstrably false claims. Stating that 'everyone' is the target audience and 'most people have used my product' for a boutique 6-person B2B consultancy with a $500k 'all time marketcap' since 2012 indicates a complete lack of verifiable traction and unprofessional response quality, resulting in a negative score.
