Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Trainow is a legitimate, established UK-based safety training provider (Trainow Ltd) rather than a technology startup. While the business has high real-world utility within the industrial sector, the submission suffers from significant quality issues, including mismatched project names ('IronHeart'), hyperbolic traction claims ('most people have used my product'), and a lack of technical innovation. The evaluation reflects its status as a service SME with no visible proprietary technology or scalable digital product.
