Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Silicon Gorge Apps is a verifiable micro-agency based in Bristol, UK, run by an experienced developer (Ed Pitt) specializing in Flutter and AI. However, the submission contains significant inaccuracies and hyperbole (e.g., claiming 'everyone' as the audience and that 'most people' have used the product). While the technical services offered are legitimate and useful, the discrepancy between the submission's claims and the verifiable reality of a small freelance operation severely impacts the score.
