Proof of Usefulness Score
Lab Mode

The submission for 'GatherU' (thegoodnessapp.com) lacks any verifiable digital footprint. The URL returns no active service, and there is no evidence of the claimed 'climatetech' or 'nonprofit' utility. The claim that 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false and constitutes a significant red flag, warranting a penalty score. The submission contains almost no usable data (null revenue, team, active users), resulting in a score below zero per the calibration guidelines for projects with red flags.
