Proof of Usefulness Score

The submission describes a physical fitness event ('Apcon') that took place in Finland in 2019, making it obsolete and irrelevant for a current technology evaluation. The project description contains copy-pasted text from 2019 claiming the event is happening 'THIS YEAR'. The 'Evidence of Traction' claim ('most people have used my product') is demonstrably false and hyperbolic. There is no custom technology implementation, as the project lists 'Events Services' as the only technology. The revenue metrics are incoherent ('all time marketcap'). This appears to be a low-effort or automated submission for a defunct physical event.
