Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project 'Pipe17' represents a legitimate B2B Order Management Solution with verifiable external traction (Series A funding, ~50 employees). However, the submission itself is of extremely poor quality, containing demonstrable falsehoods (claiming audience is 'everyone' and 'most people have used my product'). Due to the 'Proof of Usefulness' methodology emphasizing the submission's evidence and accuracy, the score is heavily penalized by low Quality Factors (0.5). The entity is real and useful, but the application fails to prove it.
