Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project makes exaggerated and unverifiable claims ('most people have used my product'). Target audience and reach are vaguely defined as 'everyone'. While the concept of AI-driven HR team optimization has some real-world utility, the lack of specific technical details, realistic business metrics, and verifiable evidence of traction results in a minimal score.
