Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Study Dog Ltd. addresses the valid EdTech market but provides highly exaggerated and unsupported claims ('everyone' uses it, 'most people have used my product', 'all time marketcap: 500000') without any verifiable user or revenue metrics. Due to the vague technical description and poor response quality, the project demonstrates minimal verifiable traction, resulting in a low PoU score.
