Proof of Usefulness Score
Lab Mode

The submission for 'Campfire' contains significant red flags indicating it is likely a spurious or low-quality entry. The domain 'campfire.to' is not indexed or active, contradicting the claim of being a 'realtime multiplayer games platform' with 'everyone' as the audience. The claim that 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false and hyperbolic. Furthermore, the business type is listed as 'AI-powered ERP', which completely contradicts the product description. The submitter 'DeepGale' appears unrelated to the actual Campfire product developed by Niantic. Due to verifiable false claims and lack of a functional product, the score is negative.
