Proof of Usefulness Report

Zealous Agency

Analysis completed on 2/14/2026

+37
Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission describes 'Zealous Agency', a verified UK-based recruitment firm with approximately 30 employees. While the business is legitimate and operational, the submission itself is of very low quality, containing exaggerated claims (e.g., audience reach 'everyone', evidence 'most people have used my product') and confusing metrics ('all time marketcap: 500000'). As a service-based agency with no listed custom technology, it scores low on innovation. The score reflects a functioning SME that lacks the scalability, technical differentiation, or verifiable data required for a high Proof of Usefulness score in a technology context.
