Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission for Social Machines Ltd. (StarStorm) contains significant discrepancies and unverifiable claims. The stated team size of 125 is highly inconsistent with the reported 'marketcap' of 50,000 and the likely micro-entity status of the UK domain. Traction claims such as 'most people have used my product' are demonstrably false for a niche consultancy. The description is vague with no concrete product utility identified.
