Proof of Usefulness Score

You're In Business

PlaylistBuilder addresses a genuine use case for educational content curation. However, the submission is penalized due to vague technical specifications ('Internet') and highly exaggerated traction claims ('most people have used my product'). Lack of real metrics keeps the score in the minimal traction range.
