Proof of Usefulness Score

You're In Business

Tartan AI targets hardware acceleration for Deep Learning, a highly relevant and technical market. However, the submission is extremely vague, relies on highly exaggerated and unverifiable traction claims ('most people have used my product'), and includes confused financial metrics ('marketcap: 500000'). Without concrete technical details or genuine evidence of adoption, the project receives a low score, placing it in the minimal traction category.
