+142.8
Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Beyond Divergence targets a genuine need for neurodivergent professionals, providing strong real-world utility and market relevance. However, the submission is severely weakened by highly exaggerated, unverifiable claims regarding traction ('most people have used my product') and reach ('everyone'), alongside nonsensical revenue metrics for a consultancy. As a result, the project is scored as an early-stage service business with minimal verifiable traction.
