Proof of Usefulness Score
Lab Mode

The submission contains numerous red flags and unverifiable, exaggerated claims. Assertions such as 'most people have used my product' and an 'all time marketcap: 50000' for monthly revenue are highly dubious for a 6-person team with no active users or specific technologies provided. The broad targeting ('everyone') contradicts the specialized nature of quantitative cryptocurrency trading. Due to a severe lack of credible evidence and exceptionally poor response quality, the project receives a negative score, categorizing it under 'No verifiable traction or red flags'.
