Proof of Usefulness Score
Lab Mode

The submission contains major red flags and contradictory claims, including an implausible audience reach ('everyone') and heavily exaggerated traction ('most people have used my product'). Revenue metrics are confused with a crypto-like 'marketcap' of 500,000. Given the severe lack of verifiable data and unrealistic assertions, the project scores below zero.
