Proof of Usefulness Score

Lab Mode

The submission contains major red flags, including vastly exaggerated claims ('most people have used my product', reach of 'everyone') and a vaguely defined tech stack ('Internet'). Revenue is conflated with an arbitrary market cap, and there is no verifiable evidence of real-world utility or traction. Due to these unsupported assertions and low response quality, the project receives a negative score, placing it firmly in the 'No verifiable traction or red flags' calibration bracket.
