Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

BuzzRobot operates in a highly relevant market (AI storytelling) and demonstrates baseline validity through its Slack community and YouTube presence. However, the submission is severely hampered by exaggerated, unverified claims ('most people have used my product', 'all time marketcap: 2500000') and a lack of technical innovation. The final score reflects strong market timing offset by poor response quality and unsupported traction metrics.
