Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project represents a verifiable, operating coffee roastery in Jodhpur, India, incorporated in 2021 with external funding (~$27K). However, the submission quality is critically low, containing exaggerated claims ('most people have used my product', 'everyone' as audience) and confusing financial metrics ('marketcap: 2500000', likely INR). While the business has genuine local utility and verifiable existence, the disparity between the claimed ubiquity and the actual niche scale (micro-cap, <10 employees) significantly penalizes the scoring.
