+355
Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

PeopleGoal is a legitimate, established B2B performance management platform (launched ~2014) with demonstrable market presence and functional utility. However, the project submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('everyone' audience, 'most people have used my product') and providing zero verifiable evidence. The score reflects the underlying value of the verifiable business, heavily penalized for the lack of credible information provided in the submission.
