Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The FashionVerse Inc. addresses a genuine e-commerce problem with AR/3D tech. However, the submission contains extreme hyperbole (claiming a '1-to-1 sales conversion rate' and that 'everyone' uses it) and lacks verifiable business metrics. Citing a $500K 'all time marketcap' instead of revenue implies a minor crypto/token project rather than standard SaaS traction. Scores for traction, reach, and response quality were heavily penalized due to unsupported, exaggerated claims.
