Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The submission represents a legitimate Venture Capital firm, Silicon Road Ventures, which establishes a baseline of real-world utility. However, the submission quality is extremely poor, featuring placeholder text ('most people have used my product'), missing financial data, and exaggerated audience claims ('everyone'). While the entity is verifiable and relevant to the commerce tech market, the lack of specific evidence, technical innovation, or effort in the application results in a low score, primarily penalized for response quality and unverifiable traction claims.
