Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project appears to be a basic utility tool in a highly saturated market (PDF manipulation). The submission lacks verifiable data on users, revenue, or team size, and the provided URL contains a typo ('hppts'). The technology stack listed (Neo4j, Algolia, Bright Data) seems disconnected from the described functionality, suggesting potential inaccuracies in the submission. With no evidence of traction or market differentiation, the project scores very low.
