Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission describes 'Third Horizon Studios', a creative consultancy, but is filed under the name 'DeepBlade' (likely a username). While the agency website exists and appears legitimate, the submission contains critical credibility issues. The claim that 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false for a boutique design studio. The revenue metric is mislabeled as 'marketcap' ($500k), which is incorrect terminology for a consultancy. The project relies on standard design services with no evidence of technological innovation. The score reflects a standard service business with a low-quality, exaggerated submission.
