Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The project represents a legitimate freelance product design consultancy specializing in health tech, verified via external search (clients include Care.com and PINK!). However, the submission itself is of very low quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product', 'marketcap 500000') and generic audiences ('everyone'). While the underlying service has professional utility, the lack of verifiable data in the submission and the service-based nature of the project limit its scalability and score compared to software products.
