Proof of Usefulness Score

The project exhibits severe red flags and contradictions, claiming 'most people have used my product' alongside a mismatched target audience of 'everyone' versus specialized B2B defense tech. The stated metrics (125 team size vs 50k marketcap) lack credibility, resulting in a negative score penalty for lack of verifiable traction and unsupported claims.
