Proof of Usefulness Score
Lab Mode

The submission contains severe red flags, including verifiable false claims about traction ('most people have used my product'), nonsensical financial metrics ('all time marketcap: 2500000' for an unfunded consulting lab), and spam-like contact details. Independent verification indicates Cognitive Tech Labs is an unfunded 2022 service business with negligible real-world footprint, contradicting the claimed global impact. Due to these discrepancies and the lack of credible evidence, the project receives a sub-zero score.
