Proof of Usefulness Score
Lab Mode

The project 'Eggplant' appears to be a low-effort or spurious submission. The domain 'eggplant.io' shows no significant search indexing or evidence of the claimed 'travel SEO' business. The submission claims a market cap of over 1 billion and states 'most people have used my product,' both of which are demonstrably false and hyperbolic. There is no verifiable traction, the description describes a generic affiliate marketing model with low utility, and the response quality is poor. The project is assessed as having no real-world proof of usefulness.
