-8.25
Proof of Usefulness Score
Lab Mode

The submission contains multiple red flags and zero verifiable traction. Claims such as an audience reach of 'everyone' and traction evidence stating 'most people have used my product' are highly hyperbolic and unsubstantiated. The lack of detailed information regarding custom technology, active users, and business type reflects poor response quality and minimal real-world utility, warranting a sub-zero score.
