Proof of Usefulness Score
Lab Mode

The project 'JungleSTEM' presents significant red flags. While the concept of IoT integrated with STEM education is valid, the submission lacks any verifiable digital footprint (no search results for domain). The claims regarding traction ('most people have used my product') and audience reach ('everyone') are demonstrably false and hyperbolic. The revenue metric ('marketcap: 500000') is misused and unverifiable. Due to the lack of evidence and the presence of misleading claims, the project scores negatively.
