Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project outlines highly specialized B2B AI and cybersecurity capabilities but contradicts this with vague, unrealistic assertions such as targeting 'everyone' and claiming 'most people have used my product'. Verifiable evidence of traction is non-existent, and critical fields are omitted or populated with nonsensical metrics (e.g., placing a market cap in the monthly revenue field), raising significant red flags. While the market timing for AI is strong, the submission's poor quality and unsupported claims result in a severely penalized PoU score.
