Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Plushwire is a verifiable regional IT consulting firm based in Miami/Boston with a legacy web presence dating back to 2010. However, the project submission is of extremely low quality, featuring hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone') and generic technical details ('Internet'). While the business appears to offer standard IT services, the submission fails to demonstrate the scalability, innovation, or traction required for a high PoU score, and the financial metrics provided are ambiguous ('marketcap' likely misused).
