Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The project addresses a legitimate issue (Amazon ACOS optimization) but suffers from highly exaggerated and poorly supported claims ('everyone' uses it, 'most people have used my product'). The self-reported 30-person team and $2.5M all-time marketcap lack verifiable traction details or specific technical depth beyond generic ML claims. Overall, the submission presents major red flags regarding authenticity and response quality, resulting in a low score.
