Proof of Usefulness Score
Lab Mode

The project is a standard staffing agency for tech and data roles. However, the submission contains severe red flags, including highly unrealistic and deceptive claims about audience reach ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') and fabricated metrics ('all time marketcap: 500000') for a 6-person agency launched in 2024. Due to the lack of technical innovation, zero verifiable traction, and deceptive response quality, the project receives a negative score.
