Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Quartz Labs Inc. claims to provide software engineering and machine learning services, but the project submission is extremely vague and lacks credibility. Responses such as targeting 'everyone', relying on the 'Internet' for technology, and claiming 'most people have used my product' as evidence of traction are highly unrealistic for a one-person team. There is zero verifiable evidence to support user adoption, impact, or technical novelty, resulting in the application receiving the lowest possible quality multipliers and base scores.
