Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Graytree Consulting is a 6-person boutique management consultancy focusing on AI integration in Life Sciences. While the market timing is excellent and the problem-solution fit is clear for a service business, the submission lacks technical innovation (being purely service-based) and features highly exaggerated, unverified claims regarding traction ('most people have used my product') and audience reach ('everyone'). The score reflects a standard consultancy model with minimal verifiable traction.
