Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

4thWAIV appears to be a legitimate, boutique AI consulting firm based in Toronto, with a professional web presence and experienced leadership (e.g., ex-Microsoft). However, the project submission is extremely poor, containing hyperbolic and demonstrably false claims (e.g., audience reach 'everyone', traction 'most people have used my product'). While the underlying business has utility and market relevance, the lack of verifiable data and the unserious nature of the input heavily penalize the score. The 'marketcap: 500000' likely refers to $500k revenue or valuation, but is ambiguous. The project falls into the 'Small/Minimal Traction' tier due to these red flags.
