Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Hathor Associates is a traditional consulting firm serving performing arts organizations, rather than a scalable technology project. The submission is severely penalized for containing hyperbolic, unsubstantiated, and logically contradictory claims, such as stating the audience is 'everyone' and that 'most people have used my product.' Combined with a complete lack of technical innovation and poor response quality, the project demonstrates minimal verifiable proof of usefulness in this context.

Project Details

Description
Hathor Associates is a consulting firm serving the organizational needs of today’s arts organizations. We focus on small and mid-sized performing arts organizations’ income, management Board and organizational development needs. Project teams are assembled on a client-need-by-client-need basis from our network of accomplished arts management professionals; we match their skills and availabilities to clients’ specific challenges. We pursue professional engagements that match our collective and individual interests and capabilities, being careful not to take on more than we can deliver at any one time. Our passion is working for arts organizations with capacity greater than their current capabilities. We believe performing arts matter in our culture and that the experience of performing arts will only be sustained by the growth and sustainability of the arts organizations that create those experiences.
