Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project provides a practical mix of standard IT support and corporate mindfulness consulting. However, the submission includes highly exaggerated and unrealistic claims regarding audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product') for a consulting firm launched in 2024. Technical innovation is minimal as the services rely on standard, existing tools. Due to the lack of verifiable metrics and unsupported claims, the overall PoU score is low.
