Proof of Usefulness Score
Lab Mode

While the project conceptually targets a valid B2B supply chain problem, the submission contains glaring red flags and unsubstantiated claims. Statements like 'most people have used my product' and a nonsensical monthly revenue metric ('all time marketcap: 2500000') undermine its credibility. The target audience ('everyone') and technical details ('Software Development') are highly vague, indicating a lack of seriousness and yielding a negative score due to zero verifiable traction.
