Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project is a service-based PR consultancy rather than a technology product, resulting in a zero score for technical innovation. While the firm appears to be a legitimate boutique agency (founded 2016), the submission contains demonstrably false and hyperbolic claims regarding traction (claiming 'most people' have used the product) and audience reach ('everyone'). The financial metric provided ('marketcap') is misused for a private service business, indicating low submission quality. The score reflects a small-scale service business with poor validation data.
