Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

While Outbid addresses a genuine ad monetization problem using real-time bidding, the submission relies on hyperbolic, unverifiable claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') and lacks technical depth ('Internet'). The score reflects heavy penalties for poor response quality and unsupported traction metrics, placing it in the minimal verifiable traction category.
