Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Rice Nation Media is a verifiable local real estate photography business based in Southern California, not a global 'Real Estate IT' technology product as implied. The submission suffers from severe quality issues, including hyperbolic and false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience 'everyone') and lack of concrete data. While external search confirms the business exists and serves local agents, the project serves a niche service market with no novel technical innovation or scalable technology stack evident in the submission. The score reflects the existence of a functional small business severely penalized for inaccurate, low-effort input data.
