Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Voluntas Ventures is a verifiable New Zealand-based venture studio and advisory firm established in 2019. However, the project submission is of extremely low quality, featuring grandiose and factually incorrect claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience is 'everyone'). While the business is legitimate with a team of ~12-30 and diverse portfolio investments (e.g., Cortex, 40 Foot), it is a service-based consultancy rather than a scalable technology product. The score is heavily penalized for the lack of credible evidence in the submission and the false traction metrics provided.
