Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission represents a personal consulting portfolio rather than a scalable technology project. Claims such as an audience reach of 'everyone' and traction stating 'most people have used my product' are highly exaggerated and unsupported by evidence. With no underlying technical innovation and inflated metrics, the project falls into the minimal traction category, warranting a low Proof of Usefulness score.
