Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project appears to be a legitimate creative design agency rather than a scalable technology product, resulting in a low score on technical innovation and reach metrics. While the description indicates specific real-world utility in the non-profit and small business sectors, the submission is significantly penalized for hyperbolic claims (e.g., audience reach is 'everyone', 'most people have used my product') and misuse of financial terminology ('marketcap' for a private service business).
