Proof of Usefulness Score
Lab Mode

While Invictus BCI develops legitimate brain-computer interface (BCI) technology for prosthetics, this specific submission is filled with blatantly false claims and severe red flags. Asserting that 'most people have used my product' is entirely fabricated for a pre-commercial medical device. Combined with nonsensical inputs like an audience reach of 'everyone', the submission's lack of credibility results in a punitive, sub-zero score.
