Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Otouo targets a valid use case with AI email scheduling but severely lacks credible evidence. The submission relies on highly exaggerated claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'reach: everyone') and provides minimal technical or business detail. Consequently, it reflects a conceptual stage with no verifiable traction.
