Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

RidgeRun operates in the highly relevant ML audio/video sector, earning points for market relevance and technical utility. However, the submission itself lacks verifiable evidence and contains heavily exaggerated claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone'). This results in low quality multipliers and heavily penalizes the evidence of traction, keeping the score in the lower promising tier.
