+27.43
Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project targets a legitimate B2B use case in AI-driven recruitment but provides highly exaggerated and unsupported claims ('most people have used my product', 'all time marketcap: 500000'). Audience reach and evidence of traction are poorly substantiated. Technical innovation lacks concrete details. The final score reflects minimal verifiable traction, vague claims, and poor response quality.
