Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

TechExcel is a verified legacy B2B software company (est. 1995) with significant historical revenue (~$13M) but stagnant recent growth. The submission contains severe credibility issues, falsely claiming 'everyone' as the audience and 'most people' as users. While the underlying business is real, the specific products mentioned (Kloud, ProjectOne) show minimal independent traction signals. The score reflects the established business value heavily penalized for hyperbolic claims and lack of verifiable growth evidence for the new initiatives.
