Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The project represents a legitimate medical technology company (270 Vision) with verifiable history (patents, B. Braun investment, awards). However, the submission itself is of extremely poor quality, containing demonstrably false claims ('most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone') and ambiguous data ('marketcap: 500000'). While the core technology and utility are promising, the lack of verifiable current traction metrics and the unprofessional nature of the response necessitate a significantly penalized score.
