Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project 'armchairai.com' is a verifiable fantasy football AI assistant with a live website and SMS functionality, launched around late 2025. However, the submission itself is of extremely poor quality, containing hyperbolic and demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience is 'everyone'). While the real-world utility of an SMS-based fantasy advisor is valid, the lack of verifiable traction, the confused financial metrics ('marketcap' listed under revenue), and the unprofessional submission drastically reduce the score. It falls into the 'Minimal traction' category.
