Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project 'Retirely' represents a real but niche financial lead-generation business founded around 2014. However, the submission itself appears to be low-quality or spam-like, containing demonstrable falsehoods such as 'most people have used my product' (despite single-digit app reviews) and nonsensical metrics like 'all time marketcap' for revenue. While the business has a verifiable digital footprint (website, app, registered LLC), its actual traction is minimal compared to the claims. The discrepancy between the 'everyone' reach claim and the niche reality, combined with the bot-like submission patterns (e.g., submitter name 'SwiftShade' appearing to be a separate entity), results in a low score within the 'Minimal Traction' range.
