Proof of Usefulness Score
Lab Mode

The submission contains extreme exaggerations ('most people have used my product') and suspicious claims ('all time marketcap: 500000'), indicating it is likely a conceptual idea or speculative token rather than a verifiable business. Due to the lack of evidence, vague descriptions, and presence of clear red flags, the project receives a negative score.
