Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission describes a niche digital marketing agency for law firms but suffers significantly from low-quality, exaggerated data inputs. Claims that 'everyone' is the audience and 'most people have used my product' contradict the specialized nature of the business and undermine credibility. The revenue metric labeled as 'marketcap' is confusing and suggests a total volume ($500k over ~8 years) that is low for a team of 6. While the business likely offers standard utility to its clients, the submission fails to demonstrate the scale, innovation, or traction required for a high PoU score.
