Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The project 'Smart Growth Studio' identifies as a legitimate one-person marketing consultancy via its URL, contrasting sharply with the submission's claim of a 6-person team and 'marketcap' revenue. The submission contains significant inaccuracies (e.g., 'most people have used my product', user 'StarBlade') suggesting a low-quality or potentially automated entry. While the underlying agency business is functional, it lacks the scalability, technical innovation, and broad reach claimed, resulting in a low score suitable for a small, non-tech service business with poor submission data.
