+76.5
Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Knosis targets a relevant market (machine learning data curation) but provides a severely lacking submission with exaggerated, unverifiable claims. Assertions such as 'most people have used my product' and an 'all time marketcap: 2500000' for a 6-person team without verifiable traction signals heavily penalize the score. The technical description is vague ('Software Development'), offering no proof of innovation. Due to the lack of evidence and poor response quality, the project falls into the minimal traction tier.
