Proof of Usefulness Score

The submission addresses a valid real-world problem regarding data science project failures, providing some baseline market relevance. However, it contains highly exaggerated and unsupported claims, such as stating 'everyone' is their audience and 'most people have used my product' for a B2B consulting firm. The technological implementation relies on standard management consulting rather than custom innovation. Furthermore, vague and nonsensical metrics ('all time marketcap: 2500000') severely degrade the submission's credibility, resulting in a low overall score.
