Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Product Soch is a verifiable, legitimate niche community for Product Managers in Pakistan, featuring a Substack (~1k subscribers), podcast, and events. However, the submission data is of extremely poor quality, containing blatant exaggerations (claiming 'everyone' as audience and 'most people' have used it) and confusing metrics ('17000000 marketcap', 125 team size). While the project has real-world utility within its specific locale, the lack of significant verifiable traction (compared to the claims) and the low-effort submission heavily impact the score. It fits the 'Minimal traction' to 'Small but promising' transition zone.
