Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission presents a confusing mix of non-profit consulting services with unrelated buzzwords like AI and gaming development. Claims such as 'everyone' uses the product and 'most people' have used it are highly exaggerated and unsupported by any evidence. Due to the lack of verifiable metrics and poor response quality, the project scores very low, reflecting minimal verifiable traction.
