Proof of Usefulness Score

You're In Business

Curtis Tree Services addresses a genuine real-world need but operates entirely outside the typical scale of a tech startup. The submission relies on vague and highly exaggerated claims ('most people have used my product', audience reach 'everyone') and lacks verifiable evidence of technical innovation or 'AI solutions' beyond standard local business operations. It accurately falls into the minimal traction tech category.
