Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

While 'neu' appears to be a legitimate Techstars-backed startup addressing a valid pain point in the vacation rental cleaning market, this specific submission is of critically low quality. The traction claim ('most people have used my product') is hyperbolic and unverifiable, resulting in a near-zero traction score. The audience definition ('everyone') and technical tags ('construction') are vague or inaccurate, failing to demonstrate the project's actual specific reach or innovation. The score reflects the underlying potential of the business model heavily discounted by the lack of serious evidence and the 'spam-like' quality of the input data.
