Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Spence Software is a legitimate, established entity (founded 1991) providing valid EHS (Environment, Health, and Safety) management solutions (S2Web) with verified enterprise clients like Areva and Cameco. However, the submission quality is critically low, containing objectively false claims (e.g., audience is 'everyone', traction is 'most people have used my product') and confusing financial data. While the underlying business has real-world utility and a long track record, the score is heavily penalized by the lack of credible details in the submission and the realistic niche nature of the product versus the exaggerated claims.
