Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Step 2 Solutions is a 6-person management consulting firm focused on digital transformation. While operating in a relevant and established market, the submission provides no evidence of proprietary technology or technical innovation. Furthermore, claims such as 'most people have used my product' and an audience reach of 'everyone' are highly exaggerated and completely unsupported for a small B2B consulting firm. The score reflects a standard service business with minimal verifiable technical traction, relying heavily on vague industry buzzwords rather than concrete technological execution.
