Proof of Usefulness Score

Gaining Momentum

The project targets a relevant field (ML near sensors) but provides highly vague and exaggerated claims ('most people have used my product', audience 'everyone'). A $2.5M all-time market cap for a 30-person hardware/IP team indicates minimal real-world traction and severe overstatement of reach. Technical innovation and market timing are plausible, but heavily penalized due to unsupported statements and poor response quality.
