Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project 'Glamshield Inc.' addresses a valid niche problem (pest management in museums/archives) and has a functional landing page describing the SIPMS solution. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality and contains demonstrably false claims, such as the audience being 'everyone' and traction being 'most people'. The revenue figure appears to be a mislabeled valuation or fabrication. While the underlying concept has utility, the lack of verifiable traction, the contradictory submission data (Project Name vs. 'WhisperForge'), and the exaggerated claims result in a very low score.
