Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The Hear Lab is a verifiable local audiology clinic in Mumbai, offering standard medical services. However, the project submission suffers from critical quality issues: the website contains 'Lorem Ipsum' placeholder text in the team section, the claims of 'everyone' reach and 'most people' usage are hyperbolically false, and the financial figures ('marketcap 2500000') are ambiguous and likely refer to a small total revenue in local currency (INR). As a traditional service business with no proprietary software technology and a partially broken web presence, it scores low on the Proof of Usefulness scale designed for technology projects.
