Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Science4Performance targets a valid and growing market (sports performance analytics via wearable tech and machine learning), but the submission completely lacks verifiable data and specifics. Claims regarding audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product') are hyperbolic and unsupported. Furthermore, revenue metrics ('all time marketcap: 500000') are ambiguous. Due to vague answers and the lack of verifiable real-world impact, the project receives a low Proof of Usefulness score.
