Proof of Usefulness Score

Lab Mode

The submission outlines a practical concept for AI-native email security but contains severe red flags and highly suspicious data. Claims such as 'most people have used my product', contradictory metrics (125 team size vs. an 'all time marketcap' of 50000 submitted under monthly revenue), and vague target audiences severely undermine credibility, resulting in a negative score.
