Proof of Usefulness Score
Lab Mode

The project 'AI Award Inc.' (aiaward.ca) appears to be a marketing-driven directory or 'vanity award' site (awarding home service providers like plumbers) rather than a legitimate technical AI institution. The submission contains significant red flags, most notably the demonstrably false traction claim that 'most people have used my product' and an unrealistic audience reach of 'everyone'. The term 'marketcap' is misused for revenue/valuation. Due to these credibility issues and the lack of verifiable technical innovation or genuine utility, the project receives a negative score consistent with the 'red flags' calibration.
