Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The Scalable CFO is a legitimate UAE-based fractional CFO agency and marketplace founded in 2016, offering genuine utility to SMEs. However, the project submission is of extremely low quality, containing verifiable falsehoods (claiming 'everyone' as audience and 'most people' as traction). While search results confirm the business exists, has seed funding, and some regional recognition, it operates as a niche B2B service rather than a high-growth tech platform. The score reflects the real-world value of the service, heavily penalized for the lack of credible evidence provided and the inflated claims in the input.
