Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

CherryOnTech is a legitimate volunteer-run organization with a commendable mission to support underrepresented genders in tech through mentorship cohorts. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing obviously false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product'), invalid contact details, and lacking any concrete metrics. While the project has verifiable real-world utility and a small, active community (visible via YouTube and Medium), the PoU score is significantly constrained by its early-stage scale and the submission's failure to provide credible evidence of traction.
