Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

While 'Hotel Investment Today' is a verifiable, legitimate B2B media property owned by Northstar Travel Group (associated with the ALIS conference), this submission is of extremely low quality. The inputs contain demonstrable falsehoods (claiming 'everyone' as the audience and 'most people' as users), unprofessional metadata (handle 'ShadowShade'), and ambiguous metrics ('marketcap: 2500000'). The low score reflects the severe penalty for submitting unreliable and lazy data, despite the underlying project having genuine industry utility and backing.
