Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project submits highly exaggerated and unverifiable claims ('most people have used my product', 'everyone' as audience reach) that conflict with realistic standards. While the foundational offering—a boutique web design and development agency existing since 2007—carries intrinsic real-world utility, the complete lack of verifiable traction, nonsensical revenue figures ('all time marketcap: 2500000'), and poor response quality severely limit the score. A uniform quality penalty (0.5) was applied due to unsubstantiated assertions.

Description
RIOTRIOT is a new generation internet company providing services from web design and application development to machine learning and artificial intelligence. RIOTRIOT was first thought up in late 2007, starting in New England, and moved west towards sunny California in 2008. RIOTRIOT is made up of the team of Jonathan Christensen and Dustin Fisher. We believe and practice the idea that design and development are integral pieces of pushing industries forward as technology advances.
