Proof of Usefulness Score

Gaining Momentum

The project addresses a legitimate real-world problem in HVAC management with practical remote troubleshooting capabilities. However, the submission contains significant red flags, including unverifiable and wildly exaggerated claims about audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'). Due to the lack of concrete evidence and poor response quality, the score is heavily penalized with low quality factors despite the claimed 30-person team size and market cap.
