Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission for Ganan presents significant credibility challenges. While the underlying business of GPS/RTLS tracking has standard commercial utility, the project claims regarding audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product') are demonstrably false and hyperbolic. The financial metric provided ('all time marketcap: 500000') suggests a micro-cap valuation that contradicts the claimed team size of 30, implying either a loose network of commission-based agents or inflated metrics. Technical innovation appears limited to reselling existing IoT solutions. The lack of verifiable third-party validation and the low quality of the submission data result in a score reflecting minimal proven usefulness in a technology context.
