Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project submits a valid service concept (photo restoration) but is severely penalized for hyperbolic, unverifiable claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product') and low-quality data inputs. The explicit rejection of technology ('not by AI') limits its technical innovation score in this framework. The revenue metric is confusingly labeled as 'marketcap', and no verifiable evidence of the claimed 'everyone' reach is provided, placing this in the lowest tier of traction.
