Proof of Usefulness Score

You're In Business

The submission describes an energy industry consulting and training service, but contains highly exaggerated and unsubstantiated claims ('most people have used my product', audience reach 'everyone'). The listed technology is 'Management Consulting', which indicates a lack of technical innovation or a scalable product. Verifiable traction is virtually nonexistent due to vague inputs and a contradictory market cap claim, resulting in a very low overall PoU score.
