Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project proposes a minor utility for networking but severely lacks credibility. The submission is filled with exaggerated, vague, or nonsensical claims, such as citing 'Internet' as the technology used, 'most people have used my product' for traction, and 'all time marketcap: 500000' for monthly revenue. Consequently, a 0.5 quality factor penalty was applied across all criteria, resulting in a bottom-tier score reflecting zero verifiable traction and substantial red flags.
