Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Reconome appears to be a legitimate London-based B-Corp focused on e-waste and social benefit, addressing a high-utility problem (digital divide and sustainability). However, the specific submission provided for evaluation is of extremely low quality, containing demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product') and non-technical fillers (e.g., 'technologies used: leadership'). While the underlying business model is sound and timely, the lack of verifiable data in the submission and the exaggerated reach claims significantly penalize the final score under the Proof of Usefulness framework.
