Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

While Working Dog Productions is a verified, highly successful legacy media brand in Australia (creating 'The Castle', 'Utopia'), this submission suffers from extremely poor data quality and lack of technical relevance. The claim of '$500,000 all time marketcap' contradicts the company's multi-million dollar reality, and the 'everyone' audience claim lacks granularity. The project scores low on Technical Innovation as a traditional production house. The PoU score reflects a high-utility real-world entity hampered by a non-serious or lazy submission context.

Description
In 1993, five friends formed a production company with a dodgy camcorder and a dream - to produce comedy that would be seen around the world. 27 years later they’re still friends, and Working Dog are still producing TV shows, feature films, podcasts and books.
