Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Lawtrades is a legitimate, venture-backed B2B legal staffing platform with strong real-world utility and verifiable traction (clients like Stripe and AngelList). However, the submission quality is critically low, containing significant inaccuracies such as tagging 'space-technology', claiming 'everyone' as the audience, and asserting 'most people' have used the product. While the underlying business fundamentals are strong, the poor data quality, false claims, and lack of verified revenue figures in the submission severely penalize the final score under the Proof of Usefulness methodology.
