Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Lab829 is pitched as a digital transformation studio, but the submission lacks credibility due to hyperbolic, unverifiable claims (e.g., audience is 'everyone' and 'most people have used my product'). Technical details are practically nonexistent, citing only 'Internet'. Confusing metrics, such as a 500,000 'marketcap' for a 6-person studio, further diminish reliability. A 0.5 quality multiplier was applied across the board for vague and unsupported claims, placing this firmly in the minimal traction category.
