Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The submission describes a legitimate AI training service for SMBs, but is severely compromised by spammy, nonsensical inputs across key evaluation fields (e.g., audience reach 'everyone', traction 'most people have used my product', and monthly revenue 'all time marketcap: 2500000'). While the core problem-solution fit is valid and timely, the lack of authentic traction data, missing technical innovation, and poor response quality severely penalize the score.
