Proof of Usefulness Score

The project 'Commslayer' appears to be a legitimate early-stage Helpdesk SaaS for Shopify, founded by the creators of 'Lifetimely'. However, the submission itself is of extremely poor quality, containing joke answers (e.g., 'Technologies Used: Internet', 'Audience: everyone') and demonstrably false claims of traction ('most people have used my product'). While the underlying business concept has merit and verifiable founder pedigree via external search, the submission fails to provide credible evidence within the PoU framework, resulting in a score reflecting 'Red Flags'.
