Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The submission outlines a standard data services and machine learning agency but features highly exaggerated and unsupported claims regarding audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'). The mention of a 2.5M 'marketcap' as monthly revenue is a significant red flag. Due to these vague metrics, inconsistent data, and lack of verifiable traction, the project receives a low score.
