Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Veterans Alliance Technology is a verifiable veteran-owned small business offering standard government IT services, but the submission for 'SwiftShade' lacks any corroborating evidence. The claim that 'most people have used my product' contradicts the verifiable reality of the company being in a 'new and emerging' business scholarship cohort (NVSBC) as recently as 2023. The 'marketcap' figure appears to be a misunderstanding of financial terminology. Due to the disconnect between the submission's hyperbolic claims and the verifiable early-stage consultancy nature of the business, the score is significantly penalized.
