Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project submits highly exaggerated and unsupported claims, such as 'most people have used my product' and identifying the target audience as 'everyone'. The complete lack of specific technical details, verifiable active users, and the ambiguous 'marketcap' metric result in severe penalties. Quality multipliers are minimized due to the vague and unrealistic nature of the submission.
