Proof of Usefulness Score

You're In Business

Project Fume operates in a highly relevant market (AI for engineering teams), but the submission contains multiple red flags, completely unrealistic claims ('everyone' has used the product), and vague technical details. The extremely poor response quality, nonsensical revenue metrics ('all time marketcap'), and unsupported traction claims yield a very low final score reflecting minimal verifiable utility.
