Proof of Usefulness Report

UPCORE

Analysis completed on 2/1/2026

-6
Proof of Usefulness Score
Lab Mode

The submission describes a generic IT services agency ('UPCORE') but presents significant red flags. The domain 'upcore.com.au' does not appear in public search indexes, indicating a lack of digital footprint for a company claiming to offer SEO and marketing services. The claim that 'most people have used my product' is unverifiable and likely factually incorrect given the lack of visibility. Missing critical data points (team size, revenue, launch date) and vague descriptions result in a score below zero, consistent with the methodology for projects with red flags and no verifiable traction.
