Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Emote AI exists as a niche startup focusing on mental health analytics for esports and workplace environments (pivoted from employee experience), but the submission contains significant inaccuracies. Public data indicates a team size of ~2-3 people, not 30, and the claim that 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false given the global population. The project addresses a valid problem (mental health) but currently has minimal verifiable traction compared to the submission's hyperbole.
