Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project 'Programa' appears to be a legitimate, venture-backed B2B SaaS platform for the interior design industry with a significant team size (43-51), suggesting strong underlying business fundamentals. However, the submission itself contains critical quality issues, including hyperbolic claims ('audience reach: everyone', 'most people have used my product') and inaccurate tags ('space-technology'). While the Real-World Utility is high based on the description, the Evidence of Traction and Response Quality scores are heavily penalized due to unverifiable or false metadata provided in the form.
