Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project addresses a specific B2B niche (cannabis retail integration) with a coherent description, but the submission is heavily penalized for unverifiable and nonsensical claims. The statement that 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false for a niche B2B tool. The domain 'getsalve.co' lacks a digital footprint, and fields like 'audienceReach: everyone' and 'marketcap: null' indicate a lack of serious intent or a placeholder submission. No evidence of traction or active operations could be found.
