Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission represents a legitimate Venture Studio entity, 'Untapped Ventures'. However, the submission quality is critically low, characterized by unverifiable and demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product' for a boutique VC firm). Key data points such as team size, revenue, and active metrics are missing. While the business model has inherent utility, the lack of evidence and the exaggerated reach claims result in a score reflecting a 'red flag' or minimal traction submission.
