Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project represents 'Lume Cannabis Co.', a highly successful Michigan-based cannabis operator with verifiable annual revenue exceeding $200M and over 1,000 employees. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing factually incorrect data (claiming 'marketcap: 50000' and 350 employees) and hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product'). While the verifiable real-world traction is exceptional (Top-tier revenue), the Proof of Usefulness score is heavily penalized by the submitter's failure to provide accurate evidence, resulting in a score that reflects the submission's poor quality despite the company's actual success.
