Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project represents a legitimate local IT service business ('KD Micro') rather than a scalable technology platform. While it possesses real-world utility for its local demographic in Nova Scotia, it lacks the digital reach, technical innovation, and growth trajectory required for a high PoU score. The submission contains significant data quality issues, including unrealistic audience claims ('everyone') and misused financial terminology ('marketcap'). The project fits the 'Minimal Traction' calibration tier (<50K users) as it appears to be a traditional small business.
