Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

AI consulting boutique addressing a highly relevant market gap, but severely penalized due to implausible and exaggerated claims regarding audience reach and traction ('most people have used my product'). Confusing financial metrics ('marketcap 500000') and lack of custom technical innovation result in a very low overall usefulness score.
