Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project appears to be a local IT services firm with a generic description and no verifiable web presence (domain not indexed). The submission contains significant red flags, including hyperbolic claims of traction ('most people have used my product') and audience reach ('everyone') that are factually impossible for a small regional business. Financial metrics are confused ('all time marketcap'), and the lack of specific technical details or evidence of adoption results in a minimal score.
