Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission contains significant data quality issues and contradictions (e.g., describing the industry as 'Banking Tech' while the business type is 'Educational Software'). The claim that 'most people have used my product' is unverifiable and highly likely exaggerated given the lack of public recognition for 'SwiftStorm' or 'upswing.one'. The submission lacks specific technical details, revenue data, or verifiable evidence of traction, resulting in a near-zero score reflecting a high probability of being a test or low-effort entry.
