Proof of Usefulness Score

Gaining Momentum

Pointbasis is a B2B software development agency specializing in CAD/CAE, engineering simulation, and CFD software for manufacturing. While the core business model demonstrates clear real-world utility and highlights reputable past clients (e.g., Bombardier, Xerox), the submission contains highly exaggerated and contradictory inputs. Claims such as an audience reach of 'everyone' and traction evidence stating 'most people have used my product' are entirely unrealistic for a highly specialized engineering service. These spam-like responses result in severe penalties (0.5 multipliers) to Reach, Traction, and Response Quality, properly adjusting the score to reflect a niche, service-based agency rather than a scalable mass-market product.
