Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

While 'Fractional AI' is a verifiable, venture-backed ($6M verified) AI consultancy with high-pedigree founders (ex-LiveRamp), this submission appears to be bot-generated or low-effort. It contains critical discrepancies (Project Name 'SwiftStorm' vs Description 'Fractional AI') and demonstrable falsehoods ('most people have used my product' and 'everyone' audience). The score reflects the legitimate underlying business value heavily penalized by the unreliable and erroneous submission data.
