Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The project 'Global Business Group' is a traditional brick-and-mortar business brokerage service, not a technology product. While likely a legitimate local service provider in California (referencing a specific DRE license), the submission contains significant inaccuracies and exaggerations, such as claiming 'everyone' as the audience and that 'most people have used' the product. The claimed team size of 125 appears inflated for a boutique brokerage, possibly confusing the entity with Meta's 'Global Business Group'. There is no technological innovation, as the primary 'technology' listed is 'Management Consulting'. The input metrics (revenue/market cap) are ambiguous. The score reflects a standard local service business evaluated within a technology framework, penalized for low-quality and exaggerated submission data.
