Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project represents a legitimate B2B software solution for the staffing industry with verifiable market presence since 2017. However, the submission quality is critically low, featuring nonsensical claims (e.g., 'Audience: everyone', 'Technology: leadership') and unverifiable traction data ('most people have used my product'). While the underlying utility of the platform is likely high, the 'Proof of Usefulness' score is heavily penalized due to the lack of credible evidence provided in the submission, classifying it under 'Minimal traction/Red flags' per the methodology.
