Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

DeID.me addresses a highly relevant problem (data privacy and compliance for AI), but the submission features extreme exaggerations regarding traction ('most people have used my product') and vague target demographics ('everyone'). The team size of 6 and unclear 'market cap' claims point to an early-stage project. The score heavily penalizes the lack of verifiable evidence and dubious claims, placing it in the minimal traction category.
