Proof of Usefulness Score

Gaining Momentum

TAG is a traditional executive search firm operating in high-demand niches like AI and Semiconductors. Despite longevity (since 2004) and a reported 30-person team, the submission demonstrates zero technical innovation and relies on exaggerated, unverifiable claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience of 'everyone') rather than actual software scale metrics. It functions purely as a service-based agency rather than a scalable tech product.
