Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

TC Consults LLC operates a traditional technical staffing model with clear real-world utility but lacks technical innovation. The submission features vague, exaggerated claims ('most people have used my product', reach 'everyone') and an unclear revenue metric ('all time marketcap: 2500000'). Applied a 0.5 quality penalty across several categories due to poorly substantiated metrics.
