Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Varidus (submitted as SwiftForge) appears to be a legitimate, albeit small, boutique venture consultancy based in Singapore with a history dating back to roughly 2006-2016. However, the project submission is of extremely low quality, containing demonstrably false claims such as 'most people have used my product' and describing the audience as 'everyone'. As a service-based consulting firm, it lacks the scalability of software products. While the business exists, the lack of verifiable traction data and the hyperbolic submission result in a very low PoU score.
