Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

SBM Services is an established UK-based consultancy providing business and financial services to schools since 2012. While the underlying business appears legitimate and useful within its niche, the project submission is of extremely low quality, containing hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product') and inaccurate data (e.g., 'marketcap: 500000' likely confusing revenue/valuation, and 'Audience: everyone'). As a non-technical service business with a poor submission, it scores low on innovation, reach, and traction evidence.
