Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project is a legitimate but niche local e-commerce business selling 'Weird Winnipeg' merchandise, not a scalable technology venture. The submission suffers significantly from hyperbolic and unverifiable claims (e.g., stating 'most people have used my product' and audience is 'everyone'). Technical innovation is negligible as it relies on standard facilities/platforms. The financial metric provided ('marketcap: 50000') is ambiguous and misused. The score reflects a standard small retail operation with a low-quality submission relative to the evaluation framework.
