Proof of Usefulness Report

Follow the Oak Ltd.

Analysis completed on 1/25/2026

+42
Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project 'Follow the Oak Ltd' is a verified, niche recruitment agency based in the UK, operating since 2017 in the Health & Fitness sector. However, the submission is framed as a technology project under the name 'BlazeHeart' (a likely error) with no custom technology or software product described. The submission contains highly inaccurate claims (e.g., 'audience reach: everyone', 'most people have used my product') which severely impact credibility. As a traditional service business without scalable technology or verified digital traction, it scores low on the Proof of Usefulness framework designed for tech projects.
