Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project addresses a legitimate B2B need (predictable deal flow for acquisition entrepreneurs) but functions more as a managed marketing service than a scalable tech product. The submission contains significant red flags, including unsubstantiated and spammy claims ('most people have used my product' and 'all time marketcap: 500000'). Verifiable evidence of traction is nonexistent, resulting in a heavily penalized final score.
