Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission for 'Proto0' describes a high-tech engineering consultancy but suffers from severe credibility issues. The claims of audience reach ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') are unverifiable and likely exaggerated. The financial metric is mislabeled as 'marketcap' ($500k) for a service business, suggesting confusion or a lack of business maturity. The domain 'proto0.com' does not appear in top search results, and the email address implies a generic or generated alias. While the technical skills listed (CUDA, Edge AI) are valuable, the lack of specific evidence, the use of a gamer tag ('FrostGale'), and the overall vague quality of the response result in a score reflecting minimal to no verifiable traction.
