Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

ZPLN appears to be a niche technical consultancy specializing in data, security, and IoT. While the service offering (consulting) has inherent utility, the project submission suffers significantly from hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience is 'everyone') and ambiguous financial metrics ('all time marketcap' for a consultancy). The small team size (6) and lack of verifiable product scalability limit its score compared to high-growth technology platforms. The submission indicates a service business rather than a scalable product, with traction evidence that is difficult to validate based on the provided data.
