Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project represents 'The Software Institute', a legitimate UK-based consultancy (verified domain softwareinstitute.com) that recruits, trains, and deploys technical staff. While the company itself has verifiable existence and a plausible team size (51-200), the submission contains highly inaccurate and hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone') and references a product 'WhisperKeeper' with no public footprint. The score is heavily penalized for the low quality of evidence and false traction claims, despite the underlying business having real-world utility.
