Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission references a legitimate UK-based web agency (Plug and Play Design Ltd), but the input data contains significant inaccuracies and red flags. The claimed team size (350) drastically exceeds verifiable public records (approx. 18-20 employees). The traction claim ('most people have used my product') is factually incorrect for a B2B service agency. Financial metrics are mislabeled ('marketcap' vs revenue). Due to high discrepancies between claims and reality, and the extremely low quality of the response, the project scores in the lowest tier.
