Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission references a legitimate educational entity (GBSIoT) but provides extremely low-quality, inaccurate, and hyperbolic data. Claims that 'most people' have used the product and an audience of 'everyone' are false. The financial metric ('marketcap') is misapplied to an educational institute. The submission appears to be a test or low-effort entry with no verifiable evidence of the specific project's utility or traction outside the existence of the school itself.
