Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project submits highly exaggerated and unsupported claims (e.g., claiming the audience is 'everyone' and 'most people have used my product'). A reported all-time market cap of $500,000 contradicts claims of mass adoption. The submission lacks technical depth, verifiable user metrics, and realistic traction evidence, resulting in a low baseline score and a 0.5 quality penalty across all criteria for vague and exaggerated assertions.
