Proof of Usefulness Score
Lab Mode

The project 'iRekommend' presents significant red flags, including a likely non-functional URL (irekommend.com) and demonstrably false claims regarding audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'). Search queries return zero results for the brand or platform, contradicting the 2021 launch date. The submission lacks technical detail, business metrics, or credible evidence of utility. The email address appears automated/spam-like. Consequently, the project receives a negative score due to penalties for misrepresentation and lack of verifiable existence.
