Proof of Usefulness Score

Lab Mode

The submission presents significant red flags and contradictory claims. While AI-aided electromagnetic warfare tools have theoretical defense utility, claiming the target audience is 'everyone' and that 'most people have used my product' is entirely implausible for specialized military tech. The reported $2.5M all-time market cap for a 30-person team launched in 2024 lacks standard revenue data and verifiable traction, resulting in a negative score per the methodology's red-flag guidelines.
