Proof of Usefulness Score
Lab Mode

The submission contains severe contradictions and red flags. Despite claiming a $42.5M raise for pioneering physical general intelligence, the stated 'all time marketcap' is only 2,500,000. Additionally, the traction claims are highly suspicious and exaggerated ('most people have used my product', audience reach of 'everyone'), while technical details are effectively nonexistent ('Internet'). These unverifiable and contradictory inputs lead to a negative final score.
