Proof of Usefulness Score
Lab Mode

The submission presents significant red flags, including heavily exaggerated and unverifiable traction claims ('most people have used my product'), extremely vague technical specifications ('Internet'), and irregular financial metrics ('all time marketcap: 500000') that suggest a token rather than a viable software business. Due to the lack of evidence and poor response quality, the project falls into the 'below 0' calibration category.
