Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Team Pumpkin is a verified, established digital marketing agency in India (founded 2012) with significant scale (~$6M revenue, 200+ employees) and major clients (Tata Steel, Axis Bank). However, the project submission itself is of extremely poor quality, consisting of a copy-pasted job description and unsubstantiated claims ('most people have used my product'). The score balances the proven high traction and real-world utility of the business against the lack of effort and detail in the submission. While the business metrics outperform the calibration reference, the submission failure heavily penalizes the final result.
