Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission describes an algorithmic trading firm but is marred by exaggerated and unsupported claims, such as stating 'most people have used my product' and targeting an audience of 'everyone'. Additionally, an 'all time marketcap' of $2.5M is highly inconsistent with an 8-year operational history and a 30-person team, resulting in significant red flags, low response quality, and a score reflecting minimal verifiable traction.
