Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

The project represents a legitimate boutique consultancy (Data Relish) led by a verified industry expert (Jen Stirrup, Microsoft MVP). However, the submission data is of very poor quality, containing hyperbolic and objectively false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone'). While the founder's reputation and the service's utility are high, the lack of verifiable revenue data ('marketcap: 50000') and the non-scalable nature of consulting limit the score compared to high-growth tech platforms. The score reflects the founder's proven authority balanced against a sloppy submission.
