Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Adadot is a legitimate early-stage B2B developer analytics platform with verifiable backing (~$1M seed funding) and Product Hunt recognition (#1 Developer Tool of the Week). However, the project submission contains significant exaggerations and falsehoods, specifically claiming 'most people have used my product' and an audience of 'everyone', which severely impacts the credibility score. While the technology (AI-driven developer insights) and market timing are solid, the discrepancy between the submission's claims and the verifiable reality (approx. 125 clients vs. 'most people') results in a heavily penalized score consistent with the 'Minimal Traction' calibration tier.
