Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission for Number Zoo lacks specificity regarding the actual product, mostly listing standard technologies and consulting buzzwords. Claims such as reaching 'everyone' and 'most people have used my product' are unsupported and highly unrealistic for a 6-person team. Without verifiable traction, clear user metrics, or a well-defined real-world problem being solved, the project receives the lowest quality multiplier (0.5) and scores minimally across all evaluation criteria.
