Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission represents a real-world professional soccer team (Memphis 901 FC) rather than a technology project. While the entity itself is established with verifiable operations and staff, the submission contains spam-like responses (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'Technologies Used: Sports') and lacks any technological innovation or software utility. The score reflects the existence of the business but penalizes heavily for the lack of technical relevance and low-quality submission data.
