Proof of Usefulness Score
Lab Mode

The submission contains severe red flags, notably the blatantly unsubstantiated claim that 'most people have used my product'. Despite claiming a team of 30 and an 'all-time marketcap' of $2,500,000, there is zero verifiable evidence of traction, active users, or revenue. Responses are largely empty or excessively vague (e.g., target audience is 'everyone'). Due to the deceptive traction claims and extremely poor response quality, a substantial penalty was applied, resulting in a sub-zero final score.
