Proof of Usefulness Score
Lab Mode
The submission contains severe red flags, including unsupported and absurd claims ('most people have used my product', reach is 'everyone') for a 6-person student-led pro-bono consulting group. There is no technical innovation, zero verifiable traction, and highly unprofessional response quality, placing it in the negative score tier.
