Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project represents a legitimate traditional business (Millbry Hill Stud) rather than a technology project. While the stud farm exists and operates in North Yorkshire, the submission fails to meet PoU criteria for software/tech evaluation. Key issues include non-existent technical innovation ('Farming' is not a tech stack), hyperbolic and unverifiable claims regarding audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people'), and a lack of digital scalability. The score reflects a functioning local business with zero relevance to the technology evaluation framework.
