Proof of Usefulness Score

Gaining Momentum

Schedula AI addresses a genuine and relevant problem regarding student debt and degree planning. However, the submission suffers from highly exaggerated traction claims ('most people have used my product'), questionable revenue metrics ('all time marketcap: 2500000'), and a lack of technical detail. The score reflects a solid problem-solution fit that is severely penalized by unverified claims and vague evidence.
