Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

While Trellis.co is a verifiable and reputable digital agency, the submission contains significant inaccuracies and hallucinations (e.g., claiming 'space-technology' and 'Fintech platform'). The claims regarding audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product') are objectively false and unsupported. The low score reflects the poor quality and contradictory nature of the submission data relative to the actual business entity.
