Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

TalkTECH is a verified, established boutique PR agency serving the technology sector with a strong portfolio (Microsoft, MatchGroup, etc.) and over 15 years of operation. However, the project submission misrepresents the service business as a scalable technology product, claiming 'everyone' as the audience and providing hallucinated metrics like 'most people have used my product'. While the business has genuine B2B traction, it lacks the technical innovation and scalable utility of a technology platform, and the submission quality is poor.
