Proof of Usefulness Score
Lab Mode

The submission appears to be a low-effort or test entry containing demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product' for a niche B2B agency). The domain 'dtcpaidads.com' lacks a verifiable digital footprint, and the description is generic marketing copy without specific value propositions or team details. Due to the misleading traction claims and lack of verifiable data, the project receives a negative score consistent with the calibration for red flags.
