Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission for 'CoreThings' lacks credibility and verifiable data. The claim that 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false for an unknown entity, and the target audience of 'everyone' indicates a lack of market focus. The revenue field cites 'marketcap', suggesting a possible cryptocurrency token rather than business revenue, or a misunderstanding of financial metrics. No technical details were provided beyond 'Internet'.
