Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project represents a standard boutique recruiting agency, not a technology product. While the business entity 'Spark Talent HQ' appears to exist and has active job listings, the submission contains multiple factually incorrect or exaggerated claims (e.g., audience reach is 'everyone', traction claimed as 'most people'). There is no evidence of the claimed 'AI-enhanced search' or proprietary technology. The 'marketcap' figure provided is ambiguous and likely misused. The submission scores poorly due to lack of technical innovation and low-quality, unverifiable responses.
