Proof of Usefulness Score

Lab Mode

The project addresses a legitimate medical challenge (non-invasive CAD detection) but suffers from severe credibility issues. Claims that 'everyone' is the target audience and 'most people have used my product' are blatantly false for an unreleased medical device. Furthermore, submitting an 'all time marketcap' of 500,000 in place of monthly revenue demonstrates a lack of basic business clarity. Due to these massive red flags, completely unverified traction, and vague technical details, the project receives a negative score.
