Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission conflates two distinct entities: 'Generation Digital' (gend.co), a small UK-based consultancy with <20 employees established ~2016, and 'Gen Digital Inc.' (NASDAQ: GEN), a massive cybersecurity conglomerate (Norton/Avast) founded in 1982 with ~3,500 employees. The provided URL describes the consultancy, but the metrics (Team Size, Launch Date, Traction) describe the public company. Due to this severe data integrity failure and the false claim that 'most people have used my product,' the score is heavily penalized despite the consultancy being a legitimate small business.
