Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Trillium Square Advisors represents a legitimate business model (wealth management), but the submission contains highly exaggerated and unsupported claims, such as 'most people have used my product' and an audience of 'everyone'. Furthermore, there is no verifiable proof of the claimed 'cutting edge programming and machine learning tools'. Due to these vague and dubious data points, the project receives poor quality multipliers, placing it in the minimal traction category.
