Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission represents a real non-profit entity (TxSBA) focused on economic development, but the project submission itself is of extremely low quality. It is not a technology project but a service agency. The submission contains verifiable falsehoods (e.g., audience reach 'everyone', traction 'most people') and unprofessional details (name 'FrostRider', confused revenue figures). While the underlying mission has utility, the lack of technical innovation and the poor credibility of the submission data result in a minimal score.
