Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission for 'Palau Project' appears to be an early-stage concept or test entry with no verifiable digital footprint. The claim that 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false for a startup with no search presence. The description uses generic buzzwords ('kill the greenwash', 'film' as a technology) without explaining the mechanism. The audience reach of 'everyone' and lack of business metrics further degrade credibility. The project scores near zero due to the lack of evidence, unrealistic claims, and absence of a working product.
