Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Rebellion Research demonstrates strong conceptual utility in AI-driven financial services and policy research. However, the submission is significantly compromised by heavily exaggerated claims regarding audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'). The reported 125-person team size also conflicts logically with the $2.5M 'marketcap' claim. Due to the lack of verifiable metrics and poor submission quality, quality multipliers were heavily penalized, resulting in a moderate final score.
