Proof of Usefulness Score

You're In Business

The submission represents a personal portfolio for a Product Designer. While the individual (Karla Vargas) appears to be a verified professional with regional traction in Chile (e.g., 'Empathy Cards', consulting), the submission itself is of very low quality. It contains hyperbolic claims (Audience: 'everyone', Traction: 'most people have used my product') and mislabeled metrics ('marketcap: 50000'). As a project, it is a standard portfolio with no unique technological innovation or scalable utility demonstrated in the input.
