Proof of Usefulness Score

The project addresses a valid use case (interactive email), but the submission suffers from severely vague and hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product'). Despite a reported 2012 launch, there is no verifiable digital footprint, financial data is ambiguous ('marketcap: 500000'), and technical details are absent. The lack of evidence for the claimed mass adoption results in a low score.
