Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

The project targets a highly relevant market (Gen AI & MarTech) with strong described technical utility and valid architectural concepts. However, the submission fields contain vague, exaggerated, and contradictory claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product', 'Internet') resulting in a low quality multiplier. This reduces confidence in the evidence of traction despite mentions of notable brand clients.
