Proof of Usefulness Score

You're In Business

While the project description outlines a valid B2B sales intelligence platform with clear utility, the submission itself is filled with vague, unrealistic, and contradictory claims (e.g., audience reach of 'everyone', traction claiming 'most people have used my product', and a monthly revenue given as 'all time marketcap: 2500000'). These severe red flags demonstrate poor response quality and provide zero verifiable traction, leading to a heavily penalized final score well below the calibration baseline.
