Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission describes an established architecture firm (Nola | Van Peursem) rather than a technology project. While the business is legitimate and has a long history (est. 1948), the submission contains significant inaccuracies and low-effort responses, such as claiming the audience is 'everyone' and that 'most people have used' the product. The lack of technological innovation, combined with exaggerated reach claims and non-standard financial metrics ('all time marketcap'), results in a low score within this technology-focused evaluation framework.
