Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project references a legitimate entity (VES-Artex, an established agricultural ventilation company), but the submission itself is of extremely low quality. The claims regarding audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product') are demonstrably false for a B2B livestock technology provider. While the underlying business appears to have real-world utility and a history dating back to 2008, the lack of specific, verifiable data and the flippant nature of the responses result in a significantly penalized score.
