Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Software Club is a legitimate, high-end investment research firm for Private Equity, verified via external sources despite a low-quality submission. The user's claims of 'everyone' reach and 'most people' traction are false; the actual business is niche and exclusive. The project scores well on utility and verifiable B2B market presence but is heavily penalized for inaccurate submission data and limited broad-market reach compared to the calibration benchmarks.
