Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project represents a legitimate and significant success story (acquisition of Scivantage by Refinitiv). However, the submission itself is of very low quality, relying on hyperbolic claims ('audience: everyone', 'most people have used my product') and generic corporate descriptions rather than specific, verifiable metrics. While the acquisition event proves high traction and utility, the PoU score is severely penalized by the lack of detailed evidence, vague inputs, and poor response quality.
