Proof of Usefulness Score

You're In Business

The submission points to a legitimate academic lab (Deep Data Lab at UC Irvine), but the application itself exhibits severe red flags indicating spam or a hijacked submission. Claims like 'most people have used my product' for a university lab, 'everyone' for audience reach, and 'all time marketcap: 2500000' for monthly revenue are entirely nonsensical. Due to these unsubstantiated and highly exaggerated claims, the project receives minimum multipliers across all metrics and zeroes for traction and submission quality, resulting in a very low final score.
