Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission for Lumos Education Hub presents a standard language consultancy concept but suffers from critical data quality issues. The claim that 'most people have used my product' is unverifiable and statistically improbable, severely damaging credibility. With no concrete usage metrics, no specified technology stack, and a low-effort response (e.g., 'marketcap: null'), the project demonstrates minimal proof of usefulness beyond its basic existence as a website.
