Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission contains unsupported and highly improbable claims, such as 'most people have used my product' for a niche quantitative trading firm. Required metrics are either vague ('everyone') or logically flawed ('all time marketcap: 50000'). Due to the lack of verifiable evidence, inconsistent data, and extremely low response quality, the project receives a low score indicative of minimal verifiable traction.
