Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Metana is a verifiable Web3 bootcamp, but the submission is severely degraded by hyperbolic and false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product'). While the business has real-world utility in training engineers, the lack of verifiable metrics, the false audience reach claims, and the minimal effort in the response result in a score reflecting 'minimal traction' and high uncertainty. The project fits the <50k user calibration bracket.
