Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

FunnelAIQ is a functional early-stage SaaS project (launched ~April 2025) listed on Shopify and Product Hunt as an AI sales survey tool. However, the submission quality is critically low, featuring demonstrably false claims regarding traction ('most people have used my product') and audience ('everyone'). While the 'marketcap: 500000' figure likely misrepresents valuation or revenue, the project does have a verifiable footprint (Shopify App, ~5 Product Hunt reviews). The score reflects the existence of the tool but penalizes the lack of credible evidence and hyperbolic submission.
