Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission describes a music-tech consultancy rather than a scalable technology platform. The evaluation is heavily penalized due to highly exaggerated and unverified claims, such as an audience reach of 'everyone', traction stating 'most people have used my product', and a technology stack listed simply as 'Internet'. Verifiable evidence of product-market fit or technical innovation is absent, placing it at the lowest end of the scoring calibration.
