Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project represents a legitimate luxury textile brand (Castel Maison) established in 1999, verified via external search. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'marketcap: 1000000001', 'most people have used my product') and generic non-specific data. While the underlying business has real-world utility in the interior design industry, the submission fails to demonstrate technical innovation or provide verifiable metrics, resulting in a low score driven by the 'Red Flag' nature of the input data.
