Proof of Usefulness Score
Lab Mode

The project addresses a proven market (IT certification) but suffers from wildly exaggerated claims ('most people have used my product') and nonsensical metrics ('all time marketcap: 50000'). Given the severe lack of verifiable traction and clear red flags in the submission, the project scores below zero per the calibration guidelines.
