Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission describes an AI consultancy with highly exaggerated and unsubstantiated claims regarding traction ('most people have used my product', 'all time marketcap: 500000'). Given the team size of 6 and lack of verifiable metrics, the project scores very low, reflecting minimal verifiable traction and red flags in response quality. While the market timing for AI services is relevant, the lack of realistic proof significantly penalizes the final score.
