Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission outlines a traditional legal consultancy rather than a scalable technology project. It features highly exaggerated or nonsensical claims regarding reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'), resulting in minimal quality multipliers across most categories. While the core service has practical utility for SMEs and startups, the lack of technological innovation and verifiable metrics severely restricts the PoU score.

Description
With over 20 years of high-level commercial and corporate experience, across an extensive range of contract, compliance, procedural, and procurement issues, we offer professional and highly practical services for start-ups and SME’s. Since founding the company, Emma has used her experience to successfully work across a range of business types, including a tech start-up, a market leader in the financial services sector, and a client in the AI sector. She has supported entrepreneurs in each case to ensure all legal and compliance essentials are in place to protect them and their innovations as both businesses and individuals. Emma's extensive legal experience has not only given her the ability to solve complex legal and procedural problems for clients but has also enabled her to achieve this in a collaborative and non-confrontational manner. This is achieved through several key assets; a high level of emotional intelligence, confident communication skills, and the love of the challenge of finding a solution to any problem that may arise. Emma can work on multiple projects in a fast-paced environment as required whilst empowering the people they work with to enhance their own skills and confidence.
