Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project is a physical hospitality venue (XOXO Dining Room) erroneously submitted as a technology project. It lacks any digital product or technical innovation. The submission contains significant red flags, including hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product'), inconsistent financial data (listing 'marketcap' as 500,000 while claiming 125 employees), and a lack of verifiable tech metrics. While the venue appears to be a real operating business in Dallas, it scores exceptionally low on the Proof of Usefulness scale designed for technology assessment due to category mismatch and poor data quality.
