Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Gaada appears to be a legitimate physical artist workshop in Shetland, offering genuine local utility. However, the submission quality is extremely poor, featuring clearly exaggerated claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience 'everyone') and missing data. As a hyper-local, non-technical initiative with a deficient submission, it scores low on innovation, reach, and traction evidence within this framework.
