Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Vida Connected Specialists is a verifiable, established recruitment agency operating since 2011 in niche sectors (Life Sciences, FinTech). However, the submission is evaluated as a technology project, where it scores poorly due to being a service-based business with no discernible proprietary technology. The submission quality is critically low, featuring demonstrable falsehoods (claiming 'most people' have used the product and an audience of 'everyone') and ambiguous financial metrics ('all time marketcap'). While the business is real and likely functional, the project submission fails to demonstrate the reach, innovation, or technical utility required for a higher PoU score.
