Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Private Liquidity Partners operates in a valid secondary investment niche with clear real-world utility. However, the submission suffers from highly exaggerated and unsubstantiated claims, such as an audience of 'everyone' and 'most people have used my product'. Technical innovation is cited but lacks detail, and the reported market cap does not align with a successful late-stage secondary fund. Due to minimal credible traction and poor response quality, the score reflects an unverified, low-traction project.
