Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission represents a real, venture-backed hardware company (Silvertree) with a genuine utility proposition for the aging population. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product') and vague data. External verification confirms the existence of the 'Silvertree Reach' product and some market traction (Trustpilot reviews, media coverage), but recent search signals suggest potential availability issues or market struggles. The score is heavily penalized for the fraudulent user claims and lack of verifiable current active user data.
