Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission for 'Workforce Buddy' presents a boutique consulting service with no verifiable technological innovation. The application contains significant red flags, including demonstrably false traction claims ('most people have used my product') and unrealistic audience targeting ('everyone'). The use of the term 'marketcap' for a private consulting firm's revenue indicates a misunderstanding of financial metrics or a low-quality submission. While the underlying service business may exist, the Proof of Usefulness as a technology project is negligible based on the provided data.
