Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission describes 'TBillick Law', a former solo law practice of Tim Billick, a reputable Seattle-based IP attorney now a partner at Practus LLP. While the individual is a verified expert with a history of ~200 clients (not 'most people' as claimed), the submission quality is extremely poor, featuring hyperbolic falsehoods regarding audience reach and traction. The project effectively represents a now-merged service business rather than a standalone technology product. The score reflects the validity of the professional service heavily penalized by the inaccurate and low-effort submission data.
