Proof of Usefulness Score

You're In Business

Ermanz addresses a genuinely relevant sector (ESG and energy asset monitoring), but the submission suffers from highly exaggerated, unverifiable claims ('most people have used my product', audience is 'everyone') and exceptionally vague technical details ('Internet' as the only tech stack). Due to the lack of credible evidence regarding traction, team output, and product sophistication, the project scores significantly below the established calibration baseline.
