Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Del Rey Analytics operates in a highly relevant technical niche (AI and cardiac sensor signal processing), offering strong theoretical utility. However, the submission is significantly hindered by exaggerated and unverified claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'everyone' as the target audience) and a lack of concrete traction metrics, justifying a lower score reflective of minimal verifiable traction.
