Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Squeezee is a legitimate early-stage social commerce app ('Costco for students') founded by former Yahoo executives and backed by angel investors (~$200k funding). However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing factually false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product') and vague technical details. While the underlying business model—splitting bulk purchases for college students—has high utility and clear market fit, the submission's lack of seriousness and the project's current localized stage (SJSU campus focus) result in a score reflecting 'Minimal Traction' with significant penalties for misleading audience and traction statements.
