Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The Forest Road Company appears to be a legitimate specialty finance firm based on the URL provided; however, the submission data is of extremely poor quality. Claims such as 'most people have used my product' are demonstrably false for a niche B2B investment firm, and the audience reach is vaguely stated as 'everyone.' The stated market cap of 17,000,000 is ambiguous (potentially low for the claimed team size of 125) or mislabeled. While the underlying entity likely has real-world utility, the submission fails to provide credible evidence, resulting in a low score due to heavy penalties on quality and traction verification.
