Proof of Usefulness Score

Gaining Momentum

The submission describes a 6-person design agency in Scotland with solid enterprise clients. However, the application contains vague, nonsensical, or exaggerated claims (e.g., audience reach of 'everyone', 'all time marketcap: 500000', and traction stated as 'most people have used my product') which drastically reduces the quality factor across the board. The project is fundamentally a service business rather than a highly scalable technological innovation, leading to a modest overall score.
