Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission conflates two unrelated projects: the description details 'Sora by OverDrive' (a popular EdTech library app), while the URL, tags, and business type describe 'Sora' (a decentralized crypto-economic system). 'Evidence of traction' claims are hyperbolic and false ('most people have used my product'). Due to this fundamental misrepresentation and lack of verifiable data for the specific entity described, the project receives a minimal score indicating a failed or erroneous submission.
