Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

While ai-coustics is a legitimate startup in the AI audio enhancement space, this submission contains major factual inaccuracies. It claims a team size of 3,000 (reality is <50) and asserts 'most people have used my product,' which is demonstrably false. The discrepancy between the real-world entity (promising seed-stage tech) and the exaggerated submission data results in a low confidence score.
