-6.6
Proof of Usefulness Score
Lab Mode

The submission contains significant red flags and heavily exaggerated claims ('most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone') for a 6-person AI consultancy. The lack of verifiable traction, confusing revenue metrics ('marketcap: 500000'), and absence of technical specifics ('Internet' as the sole technology) severely undermine credibility, resulting in a negative calibration score.
