Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Adow Capital Management claims to use machine learning for micro-cap banking investments, but provides highly exaggerated and unsupported claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product' and 'audience reach: everyone'). The submission lacks concrete evidence of traction, realistic user metrics, or specific technical details, resulting in a low PoU score consistent with minimal verifiable traction.
