Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission references a legitimate regional entity (Innovation Alliance for the West Midlands) with a stated team size of 30 and significant funding (£2.5M). However, the submission quality is extremely poor, featuring hyperbolic and demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone'). The user 'StarClaw' provides no verifiable evidence of affiliation or accurate impact metrics. While the underlying organization likely has real-world utility, the Proof of Usefulness is severely penalized by the lack of credible evidence and the unprofessional nature of the response.
