Proof of Usefulness Score
Lab Mode

Signalic LLC presents a highly relevant biomedical concept (PainPilot) addressing post-surgery chronic pain and opioid use. However, the submission contains severe red flags, including unsubstantiated and highly improbable claims such as stating 'most people have used my product' for a clinical tool launched in 2023, listing audience reach as 'everyone', and equating a $2.5M 'all time marketcap' to monthly revenue. These vague and seemingly fake data points trigger heavy penalties for lack of verifiable traction and poor response quality, resulting in a negative overall PoU score.
