Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Sniff Job targets a genuine problem (job scams) but provides highly exaggerated and unverifiable claims regarding traction ('most people have used my product') and audience reach. The mention of 'marketcap: 500000' suggests a crypto token project with no verifiable traditional revenue or user metrics, resulting in a low overall score.
