Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project represents a legitimate boutique data consultancy (Jamlabs) based in Toronto. However, the submission contains critical data quality issues and arguably false claims (e.g., claiming 'most people have used my product' and audience reach of 'everyone'). While the underlying business appears functional as a small B2B firm, the lack of verifiable metrics, the exaggerated traction claims, and the absence of concrete technical details regarding the 'jShop' platform result in a very low score. The submission fails to provide the evidence required to validate the project's scale or impact.
