Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

While the core business description outlines a plausible and useful commercial drone service, the submission contains multiple exaggerated and nonsensical claims. Statements like 'everyone' is the audience, 'most people have used my product', and a 'marketcap' of 500,000 for a private 6-person team severely damage credibility. Due to these unverifiable and contradictory data points, traction and response quality are penalized with the lowest quality factors.
