Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project 'TopBeat' claims to be a music learning platform launched in 2020 with a team of 11-50, but external verification yields no significant digital footprint or operational evidence. The submission contains critical red flags, specifically the traction claim that 'most people have used my product,' which is demonstrably false and undermines credibility. The description outlines a standard service-based tutoring model with no distinct technical innovation or verifiable reach. Consequently, the project scores in the lowest tier, reflecting a lack of proof regarding utility, traction, and market viability.
