Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Fiveohtwo is a long-standing local IT consulting service (est. 2007) rather than a scalable technology product. The submission contains significant discrepancies, such as claiming a team of 6 with an implied lifetime revenue of only $500k (~$29k/year avg) and exaggerated audience reach ('everyone', 'most people'). The project lacks the technical innovation and verifiable traction required for a high Proof of Usefulness score, fitting the 'Minimal traction' calibration profile.
