Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project 'HeroTofu' (submitted with the incorrect name 'LunarWing') is a functional form backend service for static websites, operating in the 'Application Development Tools' industry. While the tool itself has verifiable utility for developers (competitor to Formspree, Netlify Forms), the submission provided is of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('most people have used my product', audience 'everyone') and incorrect metadata. External verification confirms HeroTofu is a real micro-SaaS with a functioning product and pricing, but market traction is minimal and significantly lower than the submission implies. The score reflects the actual utility of the tool heavily penalized by the lack of credible evidence and the poor quality of the submission.
