Proof of Usefulness Score
Lab Mode

The project addresses a valid problem in the patent industry using machine learning, earning moderate points for Real-World Utility and Market Relevance. However, egregious red flags regarding Audience Reach ('everyone') and Evidence of Traction ('most people have used my product', 'all time marketcap: 500000') severely penalize the submission. The claims are unverifiable, vague, and highly exaggerated, resulting in low quality multipliers and a negative final score.
