Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Les Prétentieux (now rebranded as 'Monument' after a merger with Imago and Agence CC) is a verified creative agency in Lévis/Quebec with over 60 employees, contradicting the submission's lazy and hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'everyone'). While the actual business has significant regional traction and longevity (founded 2015), the submission quality is abysmal, containing false reach data and confusing revenue metrics ('marketcap: 500000'). The score reflects the legitimate business value found via external verification, heavily penalized for the misleading and low-effort submission.
