Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission represents a legitimate, established political consultancy firm (Sovereign Strategy, founded 2000) rather than a technology project. While the entity has a verifiable history and global footprint, the submission contains critical inaccuracies, such as claiming the audience is 'everyone' and that 'most people have used my product,' which are objectively false for a B2B/B2G niche consultancy. The lack of technical innovation (purely a service business) and the low-effort data entry significantly penalize the score in a technology evaluation context.
