Proof of Usefulness Score

You're In Business

The submission describes a standard software consulting and R&D agency. While offering practical utility through common tech stacks (Python, Django, AWS, Elasticsearch), the project is heavily penalized for highly exaggerated and unsubstantiated claims. Assertions that the audience is 'everyone' and that 'most people have used my product' contradict the reality of a 6-person dev shop. Vague traction and confusing revenue metrics further reduce the score, placing it firmly in the minimal traction category.
