Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project 'How & Why' appears to be a boutique consulting firm specializing in GTM strategies for the German digital health market, rather than a scalable technology product. The submission suffers from significant quality issues, including factually incorrect claims regarding audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'), which contradict the niche B2B nature of the description. 'Management Consulting' is listed as the sole technology, resulting in a near-zero innovation score. While the revenue figure ($500k) indicates some business activity, the lack of technical implementation and the hyperbolic nature of the submission result in a low overall PoU score.
