Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The submission for 'Licehost' (submitted as project 'ShadowGale') describes a standard web hosting reseller business in a saturated market. While the service has functional utility, the submission suffers from significant quality issues, including hyperbolic traction claims ('most people have used my product'), inconsistent project naming, and confused financial metrics ('marketcap' used for revenue). The reach is likely hyper-local or micro-scale (<10k users), and there is no evidence of unique technical innovation. The score reflects a functional small business with poor documentation and low verifiable traction.
