Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission describes a small IT consultancy established in 2012 but lacks verifiable evidence of its claims. Major discrepancies exist between the claimed traction ('most people have used my product') and the reported metrics (Team of 6, ~$500k 'marketcap'). The input provides vague descriptions of 'Big Data' and 'Analytics' without specific case studies or technical details. The response quality is low, with unrealistic audience definitions ('everyone') and confusing financial data, resulting in a low score driven by lack of credibility and substance.
