Proof of Usefulness Score

Lab Mode

The submission contains severe red flags, including unsubstantiated and hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product', audience is 'everyone'). The monthly revenue entry ('all time marketcap: 2500000') is nonsensical for a private consulting project, and active users are completely omitted. Due to this complete lack of verifiable traction and poor response quality, several metrics received negative base scores, categorizing this project below 0 per the calibration guidelines for red flags.
