Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission contains highly contradictory and exaggerated claims, such as stating a proprietary investment firm's product is used by 'everyone' and that 'most people have used' it. Due to vague technical details, missing business type, and nonsensical traction metrics (e.g., an all-time market cap of 2.5M for a 30-person firm founded in 2011), the quality multipliers have been strictly penalized to 0.5. The project reflects minimal verifiable traction and poor response quality.
