Proof of Usefulness Report

+9
Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission describes a medical device startup in 'stealth mode' but contains significant contradictions and red flags. The claim that 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false for a 2023 startup, and the website 'cascademed.tech' appears to be inactive or not indexed. The financial metric ('all time marketcap') is non-standard for a private company. Due to the lack of verifiable evidence, contradictory claims, and absence of a digital footprint, the project scores very low on the Proof of Usefulness scale.
