Proof of Usefulness Score

The project 'Openline' corresponds to a legitimate Open Source Customer Data Platform (CDP) likely backed by Y Combinator (S22). However, the submission provided ('IronHeart') is of exceptionally low quality, containing factually incorrect claims such as 'most people have used my product' and 'audience reach: everyone'. While the underlying technology (openline.ai) has real-world utility and verified traction (GitHub stars, Product Hunt), the submission fails to demonstrate this, necessitating a low score based on the 'Quality Factor' penalty for unsupported and hyperbolic claims. The score reflects the existence of the valid project dampened heavily by the poor submission evidence.
