Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Tanos attempts to solve a genuine problem by evaluating source code with ML. However, the submission lacks credible data and contains exaggerated or unsubstantiated claims such as 'most people have used my product' and 'everyone' as the target audience. Technical details are minimal, significantly penalizing the quality multipliers and evidence of traction.
