Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Sienna Edge appears to be a standard boutique executive search firm rather than a technology product. The submission suffers from significant credibility issues, claiming 'most people' have used the product and defining the audience as 'everyone', which is inaccurate for a niche B2B service. While the focus on Impact Tech leadership is timely, the lack of verifiable technical innovation, the non-technological nature of the business ('Human Resources' listed as tech), and the exaggerated traction claims result in a low Proof of Usefulness score.
