Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission represents a legitimate industrial manufacturing entity (American Mud Pumps) with significant team size (125) and revenue claims ($17M). However, the Proof of Usefulness is severely undermined by hyperbolic and factually incorrect claims regarding audience ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'). While the real-world utility of the hardware is high, the submission fails to provide credible evidence or accurate context, resulting in a low score typical of unverified or low-quality entries.
