Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission describes a standard service-based recruitment agency ('Edge Select') rather than a technology project. While the business function is legitimate, the submission lacks credible evidence of traction, contains hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product'), and demonstrates zero technical innovation. The discrepancy between the project name 'Edge Select' and the field name 'StarRider', along with low-effort responses, significantly impacts the score.
