Proof of Usefulness Score

The submission demonstrates very low effort with highly exaggerated and unsupported claims, such as 'most people have used my product' and targeting 'everyone'. Technical implementation is listed vaguely as 'Internet', and the revenue metric of a 500,000 marketcap suggests an unverified token rather than actual business traction. Due to the lack of substantive evidence and extremely poor response quality, the project receives a minimal score reflecting zero verifiable real-world impact.
