Proof of Usefulness Score

The submission describes an AI customer relations platform but suffers from critically unverified and hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', target audience is 'everyone'). With metrics implying a cryptocurrency ('marketcap: 500000') instead of standard revenue, and no verifiable product data provided to back up a claimed team size of 125, the submission earns a heavy penalty. The quality factor is severely reduced across most categories due to the vague, exaggerated, and uncorroborated nature of the responses.
