Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission corresponds to Hyperplane, a legitimate seed-stage venture capital firm, but the application contains severe inaccuracies, contradictions, and red flags. Claims such as 'everyone' as the target audience and 'most people have used my product' are entirely false for a boutique VC firm. Additionally, a stated market cap of 2,500,000 is nonsensical for this context. Due to these spam-like characteristics, unsupported claims, and lack of verifiable technical innovation or traction, the submission receives a minimal baseline score and severe quality penalties.
