+35
Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission represents 'Seed', a real and reputable boutique performance marketing agency based in Brighton, UK (approx. 38 employees, not 7,500). However, the submission data contains significant hallucinations and red flags, including an inflated team size (7,500), false traction claims ('most people have used my product'), and an unrelated name ('WhisperKeeper'). While the underlying business is a valid B-Corp with verifiable local traction, the project lacks the scalability, technical innovation, and audience reach of a high-growth tech venture. The score reflects the modest reality of a service agency heavily penalized for a low-quality, factually incorrect submission.
