Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Mini Course Generator is a legitimate, verifiable SaaS tool launched in 2021 with a team of ~6. External search confirms valid traction via AppSumo (200+ reviews, 4.7 rating) and moderate web traffic (~500k global rank), contradicting the user's hyperbolic and unverifiable submission claims ('most people have used my product'). The tool solves a specific problem (lead magnet creation) well, but operates in a crowded AI niche. The score reflects solid utility and verified existence, penalized heavily for poor submission quality and inflated reach claims.
