Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Zirdeon is a verifiable IT consultancy based in Scotland specializing in Unix and embedded systems, but the submission contains significant discrepancies and red flags. The claim that "everyone" is the audience and "most people have used my product" is objectively false for a niche B2B service provider. The revenue metric "marketcap: 500000" appears to be a misuse of terms (likely total lifetime revenue or confusion with crypto terminology) without evidence of a token or public valuation. The project name "AncientClaw" does not match the company description and appears to be a gaming handle or placeholder. Due to the misleading claims, lack of verifiable product traction, and low submission quality, the score is heavily penalized.
