Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The project represents a real-world solution ('Watch4Safe') from an established French company (AP&SI, est. 1995). While the submission contained hyperbolic and false claims ('most people have used my product', 'everyone' audience), independent verification confirms the product exists on app stores with active updates and targets a genuine security utility. The score reflects the solid business foundation and longevity, heavily penalized for the poor quality of the submission and exaggerated traction claims.
