Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Verve Talent is a boutique executive search firm operating in the Energy and Clean-tech sectors since 2014. While the business addresses a genuine need in a relevant market, the submission fails to demonstrate technical innovation, presenting a standard service model rather than a technology product. The application suffers significantly from hyperbolic and unverifiable claims—specifically stating that 'most people have used my product' and the target audience is 'everyone,' which is factually incorrect for a niche B2B agency with a team of six. The financial metric provided ('all time marketcap: 500000') is ambiguous and indicates small scale relative to the project's longevity. The score reflects the lack of technological differentiation and the low quality of the provided evidence.
