Proof of Usefulness Score

You're In Business

The submission describes a standard POS system with clear real-world utility for the restaurant industry. However, the application contains vague, exaggerated, and entirely unsupported claims (e.g., audience reach of 'everyone' and 'most people have used my product'). Due to the lack of verifiable metrics, questionable inputs such as 'all time marketcap: 2500000', and low response quality, the project scores in the minimal traction range, reflecting a heavy penalty for unsupported assertions.
