Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Performance Capital operates as an IT outsourcing brokerage connecting Dutch/Belgian clients with nearshore developers. While the business model demonstrates standard utility, the submission is severely weakened by heavily exaggerated metrics (e.g., claiming 'most people have used my product' and an audience reach of 'everyone'). Due to the lack of proprietary custom technology and verifiable direct product traction, the project falls into the minimal traction category.
