Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business
The submission for Capstan Legal presents a traditional boutique law practice but provides highly exaggerated and unverified metrics (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'marketcap: 50000'). Because the claims are unrealistic and unsubstantiated, traction and reach scores are severely penalized, leading to a minimal overall score.
