Proof of Usefulness Score
Lab Mode

The submission contains significant contradictions and red flags. The project description describes a high-yield investment vehicle, yet the business type is listed as 'Product Photography'. Claims of '147x returns' and 'most people have used my product' are unsubstantiated and hyperbolic. There is no verifiable digital footprint for 'InsightStudios' as an investment asset class launched in 2016.
