Proof of Usefulness Score

Lab Mode

While addressing a valid need (TBI/Stroke support), the submission features severe red flags that undermine its credibility. The audience reach is unrealistically claimed as 'everyone', and evidence of traction contains an exaggerated falsehood ('most people have used my product'). Additionally, the revenue is confusingly stated as an 'all time marketcap' of 500,000, and concrete technical details are completely absent. Due to these exaggerated claims and lack of verifiable traction, the project is penalized and scores below 0 based on calibration guidelines.
