Proof of Usefulness Score

Certified Problem Solver

Theator proposes a highly valuable and technically innovative solution for AI-based surgical video analysis, giving it strong utility and market relevance. However, the submission itself contains vague, contradictory, and unsupported claims regarding traction ('most people have used my product') and target audience ('everyone'). The final score reflects strong theoretical and technical foundations dragged down by extremely poor submission quality and unverifiable growth metrics.
