Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The B3 Method Institute demonstrates real-world utility in SME consulting and professional training, supported by published books and established industry influence. However, the submission's highly exaggerated claims ('most people have used my product', 'everyone') and lack of proprietary technical innovation severely limit its PoU score. Traction is moderate for a 20-year-old consulting firm but poorly substantiated in this application.
