Proof of Usefulness Score
Lab Mode

The project submits highly exaggerated claims ('most people have used my product') with no verifiable digital footprint. The domain 'recho.ai' does not appear in standard search indexes, and there is no evidence of the claimed 'Echosonic' MEMS technology or the 30-person team. The financial metric ('marketcap: 2500000') is ambiguous and unsupported. Due to the lack of evidence and the presence of red flags (false traction claims), the project scores in the negative range.
