Proof of Usefulness Score

The project proposes a standard IT consulting and mentorship model, which has inherent real-world utility. However, the submission is critically undermined by hyperbolic and demonstrably false claims, such as the audience being 'everyone' and assertion that 'most people have used my product.' Additionally, the use of 'marketcap' to describe revenue for a service business indicates a lack of clarity or seriousness. With a team of 6 and a launch in 2022, the traction claims are inconsistent with reality, resulting in a low score due to credibility gaps and poor data quality.
