+156
Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Int9 Solutions targets a high-demand market (AI/LLM consulting), but the submission features severe red flags, including highly exaggerated claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') and inconsistent metrics. A $2.5M 'all-time marketcap' for a 30-person firm operating since 2015 is contradictory, and verifiable evidence of traction is absent, resulting in a significantly reduced score.
