Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission represents a standard local photography service rather than a scalable technological innovation. Claims of reach ('everyone') and revenue ('all time marketcap: 500000') are unsupported, hyperbolic, and incongruent with the nature of the business. The project lacks verifiable traction and digital scalability, resulting in a significantly low Proof of Usefulness score.
