Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

PIPELINEBRAZIL is a legitimate niche consulting and networking group for the pipeline industry, founded by Marcelino Guedes Gomes (former Petrobras executive). However, the project submission is of extremely low quality, containing demonstrably false claims (e.g., audience reach is 'everyone', evidence of traction is 'most people have used my product'). While the underlying business is a valid professional service firm with around 40 associates and international partnerships, it is not a scalable technology product. The score reflects the valid existence of the consulting firm, heavily penalized for hyperbolic claims, lack of technical innovation, and poor submission data.
