Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project operates as an AI consulting and training business rather than a scalable technology product. While it addresses a highly relevant market need (AI literacy), the submission is severely penalized for lack of custom technology and the inclusion of exaggerated, unverifiable claims regarding audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('all time marketcap: 500000'). Consequently, it scores in the lowest calibration tier due to minimal verified traction and lack of technical innovation.
