Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Silicon Yorkshire is a verifiable regional tech community with over 3,000 pre-registered members and active real-world events (e.g., tech lunches with 200+ attendees). However, the submission quality is extremely poor, containing a wrong project name ('SilentHeart'), absurd traction claims ('most people have used my product'), and ambiguous financial data ('marketcap: 2500000'). While the underlying organization appears to be a legitimate 'Small but promising' B2B network, the score is heavily penalized by the lack of credible details and the exaggeration in the submission.
