Proof of Usefulness Score
Lab Mode

The project 'Plazacart' is currently a 'Coming Soon' placeholder with no functional product, contradicting the submission's claims of being used by 'most people'. The submission contains significant red flags, including false traction claims, vague technical descriptions ('Internet'), and confusing financial data ('marketcap' listed as revenue). Due to the lack of a working product and the presence of disqualifying dishonesty regarding adoption, the project receives a negative score.
