Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Heliopolis Productions Ltd. provides video production services with clear utility for local organizations. However, the submission suffers from exaggerated claims regarding audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'), lacking verifiable proof of scale. The reliance on standard commercial software (Adobe Premiere, CapCut) does not demonstrate notable technical innovation. The evaluation reflects a traditional service business rather than a highly scalable tech product, resulting in a score consistent with minimal verifiable product traction.
