Proof of Usefulness Score

Gaining Momentum

The submission describes an independent AI and commercial consulting business rather than a scalable technology product. While the market timing for Generative AI strategy and due diligence is extremely strong, the submission suffers from highly exaggerated or nonsensical claims ('most people have used my product', reaching 'everyone'), lacks custom technology implementation, and presents confusing traction metrics ('all time marketcap: 500000'). Consequently, quality multipliers have been reduced to reflect unsupported assertions.
