Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Tippl is a verified local app in Omaha, NE, offering subscription-based free drinks since 2021. However, the project submission is extremely poor, containing demonstrably false claims ('most people have used my product', 'reach: everyone') and lacking any verifiable data. While the real-world utility is valid for its niche, the actual scale is minimal (<5k estimated users) and innovation is low. The score reflects the existence of the business but penalizes the hyperbolic and unsupported submission data.
