Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission describes 'Helio', a reputable user research platform by ZURB, but the entry contains significant inaccuracies and signs of low-quality automated filling. The claimant lists the audience as 'everyone' and 'most people have used my product', which are demonstrably false hyperbolic claims. Furthermore, the revenue field cites an 'all time marketcap' of 17M, confusing a SaaS business with crypto or public market terminology (potentially confusing it with Helio Protocol). While the actual product (helio.com) has utility and market presence, the submission fails to provide verifiable evidence, lists irrelevant technologies ('Wireless'), and lacks professional quality, resulting in a heavily penalized score.
