Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The submission describes a standard Data Science as a Service (DSaaS) consulting agency rather than a scalable technological product. Claims regarding audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product') are highly unrealistic, unsupported, and detract from credibility. Operating with a generic Gmail address further reduces professional trust. While the market timing for data and AI services is strong, the severe lack of verifiable traction metrics and exaggerated responses result in a low overall score.
