Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project is a legacy SAP staffing agency (founded 1999) rather than a technology product. While the business appears legitimate, the submission is of extremely poor quality, containing demonstrable falsehoods (claiming 'most people' have used the product and 'everyone' is the audience) and confusing metrics ('marketcap' for revenue). The 'ShadowShade' name and lack of verified digital footprint for the claimed scale further reduce credibility. The score reflects a standard small service business penalized heavily for unreliable self-reported data.
