Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project addresses a legitimate need in local business reputation management but suffers from highly exaggerated claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') and a lack of verifiable technical or business traction. The submission reads like a generic marketing pitch with no substantive proof of product-market fit, leading to a minimal score.
