+107.95
Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Sageable is a boutique IT consulting firm rather than a scalable software product. The submission contains highly exaggerated claims ('everyone' uses it, 'most people have used my product') which do not align with its 6-person team and B2B consulting focus. While it provides a proven and relevant service in digital transformation and cloud computing, the lack of realistic metrics and the vague submission details result in a low overall score, suitable for minimal verifiable product traction.
