Proof of Usefulness Score

Lab Mode

The submission contains verifiable red flags indicating a lack of legitimacy. The domain 'localauthority.org' has no search presence or active service. The claims of a 7,500-person team and that 'most people' use the product are demonstrably false. The revenue field contains nonsensical text ('marketcap'). This appears to be a low-effort or spam submission with no evidence of existence.
