Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Decenture targets a highly relevant space in EdTech and workforce alignment using AI, but the submission is undermined by severely exaggerated and unsupported claims (e.g., stating 'everyone' is the audience and 'most people have used my product'). Traction metrics are vague, citing a 'marketcap' of 2,500,000 instead of standard revenue figures, which significantly lowers the quality and credibility score.
