Proof of Usefulness Score
Lab Mode

The submission contains significant red flags and unsupported exaggerations. While providing expert witness and tech consulting services is a valid business, claiming 'everyone' as the audience reach and stating 'most people have used my product' for a 6-person boutique consultancy is highly misleading. These severe inconsistencies demonstrate a lack of verifiable traction and credibility, resulting in a negative score.
