Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

RioPixel presents itself as a digital design agency offering standard services (UX, prototyping, strategy), but the submission is heavily undermined by unverifiable and demonstrably false claims. The assertion that 'most people have used my product' is unrealistic for a small agency with a team of 6. The revenue metric ('marketcap: 500000') is ambiguous, conflating financial terms. While the service offering has basic utility, the lack of specific technology, the broad 'everyone' audience claim, and the low-quality submission (from user 'BlazeBlade') result in a minimal score. The project appears to be either a small local portfolio or a misrepresentation.
