Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

The project refers to Vietnam Capital Partners (VCP), a legitimate and established boutique investment bank founded in 2009 with significant external verification (principals with >$30B deal experience). However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, submitted by an alias ('SwiftClaw') with demonstrably false claims regarding audience ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'). While the underlying business has high real-world utility and verifiable market presence, the score is heavily penalized by the lack of direct evidence in the submission, false metric reporting, and zero technical innovation as a service-based firm.
