Proof of Usefulness Score

Gaining Momentum

Fractal Scale Inc. is an established (since 2016) consultancy focusing on AI and tech governance. While addressing a highly relevant market need, the submission relies on severely exaggerated and unsupported claims (e.g., reaching 'everyone', stating 'most people have used my product', and citing an illogical 'marketcap: 500000'). Due to the lack of verifiable evidence, absence of custom technology, and poor overall response quality, the project receives a low score. This reflects minimal verifiable traction despite favorable market timing.
