Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

WanderlusTEA is a legitimate, albeit niche, tea consultancy business based in Belgium with verifiable press mentions (e.g., HackerNoon, Liu Tea Art) and partnerships (Nepal Tea Collective). However, the project submission suffers critically from exaggerated claims (e.g., audience reach: 'everyone', traction: 'most people have used my product') and a lack of technological focus. As a service-based non-tech business submitted with low-quality data, it scores low on the Proof of Usefulness scale designed for technology projects.
