Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Pleight Studio appears to be a small, service-based design agency in the Philippines (associated with Platform 88) rather than a scalable technology product. The submission relies heavily on abstract philosophical descriptions ('How does your world move?') rather than concrete business metrics. Claims of reaching 'everyone' and 'most people' are demonstrably false and hyperbolic for a local agency with a team of 6. The reported '500,000 marketcap' is ambiguous (likely PHP, ~9k USD) and unverified. While the business exists, the lack of technological innovation, verifiable traction, and the poor quality of the submission result in a score reflecting minimal traction.

Description
How does your world move? Motion is displacement, distance, velocity, acceleration, time and speed. But what does motion look like? More importantly, what is the force that drives motion? Your world is always moving, even when you're at a standstill. Our simple formula to set things in motion are: 1 - PROCESS 2 - COMMUNICATION I f an idea is moving in your head, it can move with sounds, images and words too. As you go on with life, decisions start showing up and you're left in the middle wondering whether if you should continue left or right, forward or backwards? German researchers from Max Planck Institute proved that in the absence of visual cues, people tend to walk in circles. We are a diverse group of designers who specialise in branding, packaging, web design product design and advertising. Our locomotive pilots here at Platform 88 believe that a lot of people are stuck. A lot of whom are contented with the way things are, but through our journey so far in educational platforms, we have come to discover a millennium full of dreams, aspirations as well as frustrations. Change is movement. A lot of us are afraid and new to the concept of change that's why most don't dare go out of their bubble, or it’s just too much work for some. Our goal is to put up clearer signages, brighter pathways and to highlight our mark in the world as Filipinos not solely as creatives but as brave engineers, no longer afraid of change. Let's create a map that lets you land on the destination you desire and create your definition of success. You lay down the tracks, we put up the signs.
