Proof of Usefulness Score
Lab Mode

The project concept addresses valid market needs in ESG/DEI and PPN 01/21 compliance, but the submission contains severe red flags. The applicant claims 'most people have used my product' as evidence of traction and 'everyone' as the audience reach, which are objectively false and point to either spam or extreme exaggeration. With no verifiable metrics and highly unprofessional inputs (such as citing a 500k marketcap as monthly revenue), the project receives significant penalties, placing its final score below zero per the calibration guidelines for submissions with red flags.
