Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

While the project description highlights a legitimate Command & Control software suite with strong theoretical utility, the submission contains vague, contradictory, and unsupported claims regarding traction and audience reach (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'everyone'). This inconsistency significantly lowers the quality factor for traction and impact, resulting in a low overall score indicative of an unverified footprint despite the large team size claimed.
