Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project represents a recognized media platform ('Indian Startup News') within the Indian ecosystem, which suggests intrinsic real-world utility. However, the submission quality is critically low, providing no verifiable metrics and relying on hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product', 'everyone'). While the brand likely possesses significant social reach not reflected in the input, the methodology penalizes the lack of evidence and professional detail. The project scores as a standard content platform with poor 'Proof of Usefulness' documentation.
