Proof of Usefulness Score

You're In Business

TariffAI addresses a clear B2B need in trade compliance, but the submission is severely undermined by unverifiable and exaggerated claims. Asserting an audience reach of 'everyone' and traction of 'most people have used my product' alongside bizarre metrics ('marketcap: 500000') reflects poor submission quality and lacks verifiable adoption. The project earns minor points for initial utility and market relevance, but applying negative quality factors for unsupported claims significantly discounts its overall PoU score.
