Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project 'Seamly' (Seamly2D) is a legitimate, verifiable open-source fashion design software with a significant niche community (~40,000 members). However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing hyperbole ('most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone') and missing critical data (revenue, team size). While the technology is innovative and useful for its specific vertical, the submission fails to provide credible 'Proof' of this usefulness, relying heavily on the evaluator's external knowledge to validate existence. The score reflects the gap between the project's actual utility (high) and the quality of the submission (near zero).
