Proof of Usefulness Score

You're In Business

The Cyber Boardroom addresses a valid and timely market need—educating board members on cybersecurity risks. However, the submission is riddled with exaggerated and unsupported claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience reach 'everyone', and a confusing 'all time marketcap' metric). The technical implementation appears to be a basic AI wrapper ('Athena') and video library with no evidence of custom technical innovation. Due to the lack of verifiable traction, contradictory data (such as a 2000 launch date with modern AI integration), and poor response quality, the project receives a very low Proof of Usefulness score, placing it firmly in the 'Minimal traction' category.
