Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission references a real event (Embedded Technologies Expo & Conference), but the provided data is highly exaggerated, fabricated, or nonsensical (e.g., claiming a team size of 7,500, audience reach of 'everyone', and that 'most people have used my product'). A heavy penalty is applied across all metrics for unverifiable claims, lack of credible evidence, and poor response quality.
