Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Evaluation focuses on 'Retail Reinvented' (based on URL/Description) despite the mismatched 'FrostStorm' project name. Verified as a legitimate, established eCommerce consultancy (founded ~2010, Los Angeles) with 11-50 employees and significant longevity. However, the PoU score is heavily constrained by the 'Service Agency' business model (less scalable than software) and significantly penalized for low-quality, inaccurate submission data (claims of 'everyone' as audience and 'most people' as users). While the business is stable and comparable in revenue scale to the calibration baseline, the submission's lack of effort and false traction claims reduced the potential score.
