Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project addresses a valid problem in the home care sector within the GTA, but the submission is severely undermined by hyperbolic and unverifiable claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product'). The 'marketcap' figure is ambiguous and unsubstantiated. Due to the lack of verifiable traction, generic technical description, and low-quality responses, the project scores in the lowest tier, indicating high risk and minimal current proof of usefulness.
