Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission describes a standard financial advisory service but lacks credibility due to hyperbolic and demonstrably false traction claims ('most people have used my product'). The metrics provided (e.g., 'all time marketcap') are inconsistent with the described business model (wealth advisory firm), and the domain appears to have minimal to no established web presence. The project lacks evidence of innovation, verified user base, or detailed implementation plans.
