Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Zenplans is a verifiable, legitimate UK-based digital estate planning platform with B2B partnerships (e.g., Bishop & Sewell, Law Society). However, the submission quality is extremely poor, containing lazy placeholder text ('audienceReach': 'everyone') and false traction claims ('most people have used my product'). While the real-world utility and market timing are strong, the score is heavily penalized by the lack of verifiable evidence in the submission itself and the vagueness of the provided data.
