Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission represents a high-utility, legitimate organization (PeaceTech Lab) and platform (groundTruth) backed by reputable partners like USIP and AWS. However, the submission quality is critically poor and contains verifiable falsehoods (claiming 'everyone' as the audience and 'most people have used my product' as traction). These 'Red Flag' statements trigger severe Quality Factor penalties (0.5x), significantly reducing the score to the 'Minimal traction/Red flags' range despite the organization's actual institutional value.
