Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Hypnotic Digital Agency is a verified, award-winning agency (Awwwards, 2009 launch) based in Portugal with legitimate high-profile client work (Forbes, UNICEF). However, the submission itself is of very low quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and vague data ('marketcap: null'). While the underlying business is solid and 'comparable scale' to established SMEs, the specific proprietary products mentioned (Glimpse.ws, Firepanel.io) appear to be secondary tools with niche traction. The score reflects the legitimate agency success dampened by the poor submission quality and lack of verifiable widespread product adoption.
