Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project addresses a legitimate real-world problem in invoice automation but fails to provide credible evidence of traction or technical depth. Assertions like 'most people have used my product' and an 'all time marketcap: 500000' lack believability, severely penalizing the quality factors. The submission provides minimal verifiable data, placing it firmly in the lowest traction tier.
