Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Swing Lab is a verifiable, legitimate golf performance and therapy facility based in Toronto (swinglabtheory.com), founded by Michele Liew. However, the project submission is of extremely low quality and contains significant inaccuracies. The submitter incorrectly lists 'all time marketcap: 500000' (likely referring to lifetime revenue of $500k, or confusing business terms with crypto jargon) and makes the absurdly false claim that 'most people have used my product'. While the physical business provides genuine utility for injured golfers using 3D biomechanics (Sportsbox AI), the submission's hyperbolic claims (Team size 30 vs actual ~4, Reach 'everyone') and lack of verifiable traction data result in a very low Proof of Usefulness score.
