Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Radius Corporate Finance is a verified, legitimate boutique advisory firm in Belfast with impressive regional deal flow (£200m+ raised). However, the Proof of Usefulness score is heavily penalized because the submission assesses a traditional service business as a technology project (resulting in near-zero innovation scores) and contains low-quality, hyperbolic claims in the input fields (e.g., audience 'everyone', evidence 'most people have used my product'). While the underlying business is sound, the submission fails to demonstrate the scalability or technical leverage required for a high PoU score.
