Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission describes a traditional HR recruitment agency ('Searchbourne Consulting') rather than a technology product. The evaluation is heavily penalized due to unverifiable and hyperbolic claims, such as 'most people have used my product' and an audience reach of 'everyone', which are factually incorrect for a niche B2B service. There is no evidence of custom technology or software innovation, as the 'technologies' listed are soft skills (leadership, analytics). While the business has existed since 2017, the lack of verifiable metrics and the low-quality response result in a score reflecting a non-tech service with poor submission integrity.
