Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project is a legitimate, well-established Irish business podcast with over 300 episodes, verified awards (UCD Smurfit 'Best Podcast'), and active sponsorships (e.g., De Facto Shaving Oil). However, the submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing hyperbolic and inaccurate claims (e.g., Audience Reach: 'everyone', Evidence: 'most people have used my product'). While the external reality of the project is solid within its regional niche, the score is heavily penalized by the lack of verifiable data provided in the input and the limitation of its reach to the Irish market compared to global benchmarks.
