Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Sota Holdings claims 350 employees and operates as an IT consulting group, but the submission provides heavily exaggerated, unverifiable inputs (e.g., claiming 'most people have used my product' for audience reach) and vague metrics ('all time marketcap: 2500000'). Due to the poor response quality and lack of concrete evidence, a 0.5 Quality factor penalty was applied across all criteria, resulting in a significantly reduced final score.
