Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

While Datacube targets a genuine business need (KPI dashboarding), the submission is severely lacking in credible details. Exaggerated claims such as 'most people have used my product' for traction and a vague 'everyone' for target audience contradict the lack of active users and clear technological explanations. The project receives a low score reflective of minimal verifiable traction, secrecy regarding mechanics, and significant response quality red flags.
