Proof of Usefulness Score

Lab Mode

The submission for 'Source IoT' presents significant red flags. The claim that 'most people have used my product' is verifiably false for a niche B2B entity with no search visibility. The 'audience reach' of 'everyone' is unrealistic. The project lacks a clear value proposition, functional digital footprint, or credible team details. The revenue metric is incoherent ('all time marketcap'). Consequently, the project receives a negative score due to lack of proof and misleading claims.
