Proof of Usefulness Score

The submission features highly exaggerated, unverified claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product') with vague technical descriptions and no concrete proof of utility. The cited $2.5M 'marketcap' for revenue suggests a cryptocurrency token rather than actual business traction. Due to the lack of evidence and poor response quality, the project falls into the minimal traction category.
