Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Synthesize Leverage LLC is a legitimate boutique angel investment firm based in Florida, with a verified portfolio of approximately 30 startups focused on sustainable systems and IoT. However, the project submission is critically flawed: it claims 'everyone' as the audience and asserts that 'most people have used my product,' which is demonstrably false for a niche investment vehicle. The submission treats a financial service as a technology product, lists no technical innovation, and provides confusing financial metrics ('marketcap 500000'). While the underlying business exists and has capital deployment activity, the submission's lack of clarity, hyperbolic claims, and absence of direct user utility result in a very low PoU score.
