Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project 'Haru' appears to be a dormant or non-existent entity with no verifiable digital footprint in 2026. The submission contains significant red flags, including the hyperbolic and demonstrably false traction claim that 'most people have used my product' and a mismatch between the project name and the submitter name ('LunarForge'). The revenue field conflates market cap with revenue and uses low-quality data. The domain 'haru.fr' does not return relevant active results for an IoT business. Consequently, the project receives a near-zero score reflecting its lack of verifiable existence and the low quality of the submission.
