Proof of Usefulness Score
Lab Mode

The project represents a small, likely dormant recruiting firm with a non-functional website (default 'Hello World' post). The submission contains significant red flags, including demonstrably false claims of having 'everyone' as an audience and 'most people' as users. The 'marketcap' metric is misused and unverifiable. Due to the lack of a working product and the presence of deceptive traction claims, the project receives a negative valuation.
