Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project addresses a valid use case (digital ownership of books) but the submission is severely undermined by hyperbolic and demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'eliminate 100% of piracy'). While the token (NFTBS) technically exists, the lack of verifiable revenue, the unlikely team size claim (30-50), and the unprofessional response quality result in a low score indicative of a project with minimal credible traction.
