The project is a legitimate freelance instructional design portfolio rather than a scalable technology startup. While the consultant (Jodie Buttigieg) appears to have verifiable professional experience and clients (Western University, Fortune 500s), the submission itself is fraught with critical data quality issues. The project name 'FrostFang' appears unrelated to the description, and claims like 'market cap' and 'most people have used my product' are factually incorrect or placeholders. As a service-based business using standard off-the-shelf tools (Articulate 360), it lacks the technical innovation and scalability required for a high Proof of Usefulness score in a technology context.
