Proof of Usefulness Score

Gaining Momentum

CogAbility presents a viable use case for AI in the public sector but provides vague, highly exaggerated claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') lacking verifiable evidence. The reported $2.5M market cap and 30-person team size suggest some scale, but poor response quality and unsupported assertions significantly lower confidence in actual traction and audience reach.
