Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

While the core concept of an AI and data consulting firm possesses real-world utility and strong market relevance, the submission provides zero verifiable evidence and uses exaggerated, unserious claims (e.g., target audience is 'everyone', traction is 'most people have used my product', and technologies used is simply 'Internet'). This lack of detail and verifiable metrics results in the lowest possible quality multiplier (0.5) applied across all categories, severely penalizing the final score.
