Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Indemn targets a practical use case with its ML-powered insurance chatbot, but the submission lacks credibility and detail. Vague and hyperbolic responses (e.g., claiming 'everyone' uses the product) combined with an absence of verifiable metrics result in poor evidence of traction. Heavy penalties for submission quality and unsupported claims limit its score strictly to the lower tier of the scale, despite operating in a relevant market with a valid premise.
