Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

While the project appears to represent a legitimate enterprise entity (THG Ingenuity), the submission quality is critically low. The traction data is contradictory ($500,000 market cap vs. 130,000 customers), the technology list is generic ('Internet'), and claims of audience reach ('everyone') are unsubstantiated. The score reflects the poor quality of evidence provided rather than the potential value of the underlying business.
