Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project 'Surge.ly' presents as a digital marketing agency but lacks verifiable online presence (no indexed pages found). The submission contains highly exaggerated and demonstrably false claims, such as 'most people have used my product' and a target audience of 'everyone,' which contradict the stated team size of 1-5 people. There is no evidence of technical innovation or meaningful traction, resulting in a score reflecting a low-effort or potentially non-operational entry.
