Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

PR Volt is a verifiable business (est. $1.3M revenue, founded ~2014) offering automated PR solutions. However, the PoU submission is of very low quality, containing false claims ('Audience: everyone', 'most people have used my product') and unprofessional details ('CrimsonFang'). While the core business has non-trivial traction in the B2B market (validating the concept), the hyperbolic claims and lack of verifiable growth data in the submission significantly penalize the score. The 'market cap' figure likely refers to a valuation, and the team size of 125 appears inflated, likely counting freelance campaign managers.
