Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission addresses a real problem in AI deployment but presents severe red flags regarding its metrics and claims. Assertions like 'most people have used my product' and 'all time marketcap: 2500000' are nonsensical for an IT consulting service and suggest hyperbole or falsehood. With no verifiable adoption, generic technological backing, and poor response quality, the project scores in the lowest tier.
