Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The submission for 'Luca' (askluca.com) contains significant discrepancies. While the URL belongs to a legitimate, YC-backed B2B retail pricing AI (raised ~$2.5M), the submission claims it is 'Restaurant Management Software' and used by 'everyone' (likely confusing it with the German 'Luca' app). The evaluation ignores the erroneous submission claims and scores the actual high-potential E-commerce entity found at the URL, while heavily penalizing the response quality.
