Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Trueline Publisher is a verifiable small-scale academic and book publishing service based in Salem, India. While the business exists and has verifiable output (ISBNs, conference organization), the submission is heavily exaggerated (claiming 'most people have used my product' and 'everyone' as the audience). The project lacks technical innovation, operating as a traditional service provider rather than a technology platform. The financial figure provided ('marketcap: 500000') is ambiguous but likely refers to a small valuation in INR (~$6,000 USD), indicating a micro-business scale. The score reflects a functional local business with minimal digital traction or technical differentiation.
