Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Project Sniper claims to be an early-stage AI/ML cybersecurity firm for the mobility industry launched in 2016, but provides contradictory and unsupported metrics. The claims that 'everyone' is the target audience and 'most people have used my product' for traction are highly unrealistic for a specialized B2B sector. Submissions regarding active users are omitted, and revenue is confused with a minuscule market cap. The quality factor is severely penalized (0.5) across all criteria due to vague buzzwords and lack of verifiable data.
