Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission contains significant contradictions and red flags. The project description appears to be a copy-pasted meta tag from a job board (Wellfound) and does not describe the claimed 'Contactless payments' business. Traction claims are hyperbolic ('most people have used my product') and unverifiable. The submission fails to demonstrate real-world utility or credibility due to extreme incoherence and lack of effort.
