I don't think you have positivism right. It sounds like you're talking about something related to positivism (or its neighbor, pragmatism) but I doubt most positivists would agree with you.

For example, there is no reason 'Google is a successful company" can't be empirically verified, so long as you fix the meaning of the proposition in a way that it can. If you have a clear definition of 'successful' and 'company' (and the other words, of course) then it will be clear when Google does that.
