Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission references a legitimate vocational training entity ('Training To You', a partner of Year Up), but the entry is critically flawed. It contains demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience 'everyone') and lacks any verifiable data on revenue, active users, or team size. While the underlying organization likely provides real-world value, the submission's low quality, vague technical details ('Internet'), and lack of evidence result in a minimal score.
