Proof of Usefulness Score

Lab Mode

The submission exhibits several severe red flags. The traction claim that 'most people have used my product' is absurd and completely unverifiable. Additionally, reporting an 'all time marketcap' of 2.5 million instead of standard monthly revenue strongly indicates this is a crypto or token project masquerading as an EdTech platform. Combined with an anonymous numeric email and vague technical details, the project receives a negative score due to high suspicion of being a low-effort or deceptive submission.
